`Hi,
As far as I can judge, most of these gestures are available to us as VO
users, most of the time, when they say "hold" we use the pass-through (AKA
double-tap and hold) to obtain the required result. So, for example, in Safari,
for a quick way to the desktop site, go to the address bar, flick to "reload"
then double-tap and hold on that and a pop up appears offering the desk-top
site. I can find only one that doesn't have its equivalent, non VO users can
close, in the app switcher, multiple apps by flicking up with 2 or 3 fingers, i
tried it with 4, but no go! Has anyone found a way to do this using VO?
Thanks, Sandy.

>>
>> Redial: In the Phone app, press the green call button on the keypad screen
>> to make the last dialed number appear.
>>
>> Clear cache: Make your iPhone run faster by clearing out the cache in

>> of the screen 10 times in a row.
>>
>> Make TouchID work faster: Save the same fingerprint multiple times as
>> different entries and TouchID will work much faster. This is especially

>>

>> open Spotlight and type something like “20 euros in GBP,” and it will
>> instantly perform the conversion.
>>
>> Spotlight math: Want to do a quick math problem? No need to open the
>> Calculator app, just pull down to open Spotlight and type it right there.

>> until the screen goes blank and your home screen reappears.
>>
>> Burst mode: Hold down the camera’s shutter button to shoot in burst mode.
>>
>> Remote shutter: Use the volume up or down button on your headphones to snap
>> a photo in the Camera app.
>>
>> Turn the flashlight off: How many times have you turned your flashlight on
>> and wished that you didn’t have to swipe open the Control Panel again to
>> shut it off? We’ll save you a step: simply swipe up on the camera icon on
>> your lock screen and the flashlight will turn off.
>>
>> 3D Touch while drawing: All of the drawing tools and the eraser are pressure
>> sensitive in the Notes app.
>>
>> Close multiple apps at once: Double-tap the home button to open the app
>> switcher and you can use two, even three fingers to slide multiple apps
>> closed with one swipe.
>>
>> Recently closed tabs: Want to reread this article on your phone but you
>> forgot what site you were reading it on in the first place? Simply tap and
>> hold on the + symbol in Safari on the tab carousel view to open a screen
>> that lists all of your recently closed tabs.
>>
>> Desktop version of a site: We all know you can request the desktop version
>> of a mobile site in Safari but it’s easier to do than you think. Just hold
>> down the reload button in the URL bar.
>>
>> Peek at tabs: Not sure you want to open that tab in the Safari tab carousel?
>> A 3D Touch will let you Peek at it first.
>>
>> Peek at bookmarks: Did you know you can use 3D Touch to Peek at bookmarks
>> before you open them?
>>
>> Edit reminders: 3D Touch an item in your Reminders app to edit the time or
>> add a location.
>>
>> View only unread emails: So you don’t practice “inbox zero” like I do but
>> you only want to see unread emails in your inbox. Tap the Mailboxes link in
>> the top right corner of the Mail app and then tap Edit. Tap the circle next
>> to “Unread” and you’ll have a new folder that contains only your unread
>> emails.
>>
>> Save a draft with one swipe: In the Mail app, tap on the subject line and
>> swipe down to the bottom of the screen to save a draft.
>>
>> Quick Reply: When you get a notification at the top of the screen that you
>> have a new iMessage or SMS, pull the notification downward to reply without
>> leaving the screen you’re on.
>>
>> Hidden level(s): Slide to the left in the Compass app open the level. Then
>> place your phone flat with the screen facing away from the ground to reveal
>> a bubble level.
>>
>> Artist Peek: 3D Touch an artist in the Music app to Peek at their music.
>>
>> Reenable Low Power Mode: When Low Power Mode automatically shuts off as you
>> charge, you’ll get a notification on your lock screen that it has been
>> disabled. Swipe left on that notification to turn it back on.
>>
>> Find an iPhone’s owner: Did you find a lost iPhone in a bar? Simply ask
>> Siri, “whose phone is this?” and it will show you so you can get in touch
>> with him or her and return it.
>>
>> Reachability: This is one of the new iPhones’ best features and there are
>> still SO many people who don’t know about it. Double-touch (don’t tap,
>> touch) on the home button and the entire screen will shift down so you can
>> reach the top without shifting your grip.
