the accessibility shortcut is suppose to be set from the factory, if it isn't, you will likely have to have sighted help to set it up, unless you have Siri working, in which case you can tell Siri to turn on VoiceOver and then set it up yourself. Here are the new gestures for devices without

Janet, Before you do anything, you need to sort out if your phone is having a problem, which I suspect now that it is. If TapTapSee isn’t working for you, then something has gone bad with your camera. KNFB Reader is a joke these days, but TapTapSee should work fine, as well as should Seeing AI
