I can't say this works every time for me. If I tap and hold near the bottom of the screen, that's just where my messages app is in the doc. Its just above the home button with no spaced below it. I did get it to work once, but spent the next three minutes with no success. On Oct 9, 2013, at

Hi, John. As noted in another message, my messages app is just above the home button. If I tap and hold, it wants to move the icons in the doc. It would still be faster to just touch the top of the screen and then do the three finger swipe upgrin. The problem as I see it is this method isn't

That means, you are using the double tap and hold. It is a touch and hold. Not a double tap and hold. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone On 11 Oct 2013, at 16:24, Paul Henrichsen pfhj2...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, John. As noted

Hi, guys. On the mac accessibility podcast, they were talking about an alternative method for bringing up the control center using one finger. It sounded like they suggested tapping and holding just above the home button then sliding one finger up to bring up the control center. I can't get that

Hi Paul, You don’t actually tap and hold. You slowly slide your finger up from the home button until you hear the same sound you would normally hear when you double tap and hold. At that point, slide one finger straight up. I will tell you that I have found this gesture difficult to

Hi Tom, Not true, you can touch the bottom of the screen in any app or the lock screen and when you hear the double tone swipe up and the control center will come up. Works for me every time and so far in every appp where I have done that. It would hardly be much of a time saver if you had to

Not true at all. When you are inside an app, simply touch and hold for a second or two on the status bar at the top of the screen until you hear a sound, then swipe up with three fingers to bring the control center up. No need to be on the home screen. -Original Message- From: Thom

Actually, the gesture works in apps as well as from the home screens. The trick is touching the bottom of the display, where the delete button in mail is, for one to two seconds, without moving the finger. In other words, touch and hold until the two ascending tones is heard. After hearing the

Hi David, It works either way for me, either touch or touch the home key and slide up a bit, the trick is to only just barely slide your finger onto the screen. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of David Chittenden Sent:

Hi Tara, I can't really tell you what you are doing or not doing to bring up the control center, but you should definitely be able to bring it up if you touch the time in the status bar and then do a 3-finger swipe up the screen similarly how you do a 3-finger swipe down the screen to bring up
