Dear Christopher & List: True enough. Try Screen Brightness of 20% to help the sighted.

This won't work if you're having trouble with your phone or Voiceover and need sighted help. Alternatively, you could just set the screen brightness to 10%. This should be bright enough for a sighted person to get you out of a bind or raise the screen brightness themselves if they need to spend more time on your phone. On 9/29/19 8:17 AM, Brian K.

Also, remember to turn background refresh off, this is also a major battery hog. Brian K.

Hi. Let me explain what I’m trying to do. I just got a Focus 40 Blue 5th Generation display, and I’m using it with my iPhone X. I have two really basic questions. First, and most importantly, is there a way to lock the touch screen so it doesn’t do anything while I’m using the braille display? I use the Focus for everything I can, including my email. It’s really annoying to put my iPhone in my pocket, and thanks to the touch screen, I’m put somewhere in space away from where I was. If this can be done, is there a toggle to switch it on and off? My second regards saving battery on my iPhone. It’s simply this. How can I maximize how much battery I have on the iPhone? I have screen curtain on, but I know that really does nothing. I’m afraid to turn brightness to nothing, because there are times when a sightling needs to see my iPhone to use it, so I don’t know what to do. That’s it. I’m pretty happy with the latest update to iOS, by the way, because it’s easier to quickly go through the hundreds of thousands of email messages I have. I know, it’s a bit much, but it is what it is. Thanks in advance. Kevin and Jilly
