Hello, Yes you can set up the assistive touch option and have menu options. This will show up as a small dot on the screen that you can actually set to utilize the home gesture, app switcher, Notification Center and control center. It’s not ideal but it could work as a work around in noisy situations.
Please let me know if you need or want any further assistance setting this option up. You can email me off list at e...@overhereconsulting.net <mailto:e...@overhereconsulting.net> Thanks, Ed Worrell CEO/Co-Founder OverHere Consulting LLP > On Oct 26, 2018, at 2:31 PM, <r...@startmail.com> <r...@startmail.com> wrote: > > Are there any alternative ways to bring up the home screen or the app > switcher? > > Part of my problem is hearing the tones because they seem pretty quiet.
