Re: Can anyone send me a list of idiot-proof instructions for the gestures I need to know for an IPhone with no physical home button please?
I am resending this message from Richard because it saved my bacon while I was trying to learn the gestures without the home button on my new iPhone 13 Pro. Since many of us may have gotten new phones without the old faithful home button over the holidays, thought I would re-post. Thanks Richard.

Hi. Have you considered Hadley? They offer some excellent workshops on using voiceover among many other things. www.hadley.edu Chris Judge -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: October 19, 2021 11:16 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Can anyone send me a list of idiot-proof instructions for the gestures I need to know for an IPhone with no physical home button please? Thanks Sieghard, Those were written based on bad information before I got a phone without a home button and obviously needed editing. I discovered two things just now though. When I press and hold the power and volume down buttons, the emergency call button comes up, with Cancel in focus, and if I hold it too long, it begins the auto call to 911/emergency contacts.

Hi Richard, There is one mistake in your list of commands, you write: * Power off the iPhone by holding in the power button until the power off icon appears, release the side button and double tap on the Power Off button. Or, go to Settings, General, Shut down and double tap on shut down. On an iPhone without a home button you push and hold the power button which is also called side button for SIRI. In order to power off the phone you press and hold the side button and volume down button at the same time until the power off menu appears, this menu also includes the SOS/9 1 1 call button so make sure you are not on it but to swipe right all the way until you get to "Power Off" before you double tap. I find telling SIRI to "Open General Settings" and to then do a 4-finger tap near the bottom of the screen is just as easy, this puts focus straight on the shutdown button, but you still get the same menu except that focus is at least for me reliably on the power off button if you do it this way. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: October 18, 2021 1:39 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Can anyone send me a list of idiot-proof instructions for the gestures I need to know for an IPhone with no physical home button please?

Re: Can anyone send me a list of idiot-proof instructions for the gestures I need to know for an IPhone with no physical home button please?
Everything is the same on the phone that has no home button. The only thing that’s changed is that you use the side button on the right hand side to turn on voice over if it doesn’t come up when you begin to set it up. All the gestures are exactly the same except the ones Richard has so kindly pointed out. They iOS is the same. VoiceOver is the same. the only difference is that you swipe up from the bottom with the two little blips to go to home. If you hear three blips you are in the switcher if you go from the top you will find the notification Center and the control center I believe. I have not had much luck with going from the top so I set another gesture for that purpose. Going from the bottom and swiping up can be very uncomfortable at first so be very patient with yourself. Just keep practicing and it will become so second nature that you’ll be surprised you ever thought you needed a home button. Even when I had the se I use the home button but I kept trying to use the swipe up. Now I have a 12 and it was like coming home. Believe me it is not as big a deal as you think it is. It’s all the same except that you use the side button and the up-and-down button. Mostly you use the side button to speak with Siri and to turn on voice over if you have to . Remember also that you can ask Siri to turn on VoiceOver once you have the phone set up. You will be fine. It looks daunting but it’s not.

If you find that your phone is constantly trying to "wake" up or unlock, and perhaps the battery is not giving you the time you thought it should, try turning that feature off. If you use VoiceOver, and it is constantly saying the time whenever you move the iPhone, you probably have raise to wake on and each time the phone moves, it is trying to wake up. People who carry their phone in a bag or a purse may find it is constantly waking up from the movement of the bag/purse. There is also a feature called Tap to Wake, under Settings, Accessibility, Touch, that allows you to wake up the phone by tapping in the middle of the screen with one finger.

RE: Can anyone send me a list of idiot-proof instructions for the gestures I need to know for an IPhone with no physical home button please?
Eleanor, press the Power Button three times to get VoiceOver to come on. I never missed the Home Button at all ever. I[m probably old enough to be your grandmother, so my bet is that you'll do fine with the phone. Richard's instructions will show you exactly how. Believe me when I tell you, it just sounds frustrating, but it is not, and it does work. -Original Message- From: 'Eleanor Roberts' via VIPhone [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] Sent: Monday, October 18, 2021 4:29 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Can anyone send me a list of idiot-proof instructions for the gestures I need to know for an IPhone with no physical home button please?

RE: Can anyone send me a list of idiot-proof instructions for the gestures I need to know for an IPhone with no physical home button please?
This is taken from my version of the VoiceOver Gestures which is on my web site. But here is the sections relating to phones with no home buttons. For devices without a home button: Side button replacing Home button commands * Unlock Phone: Facial Recognition, or tap the Side button and enter your passcode * Accessibility Shortcut: Triple click of the Side button * Screenshot: Simultaneously press and quickly release the Side button and Volume Up button. Caution: if you hold the volume up and side power button too long, you will activate the Emergency SOS and end up calling 911. * Activate Siri: Press and hold the Side button * Reboot the iPhone: Press and release the volume up button, then the volume down button, then hold in the side/power button for about 10 seconds or until the Apple comes back and gradually fills in the image. * Power off the iPhone by holding in the power button until the power off icon appears, release the side button and double tap on the Power Off button. Or, go to Settings, General, Shut down and double tap on shut down. * Activate Apple Pay: Double click the Side button New Gestures replacing function of the Home button Starting at the bottom of the screen and slide one finger up.
