I’m glad you think that, but it happens with apps that do not have their own 
TTS which is why Apple has changed things in 14.4 so it doesn’t break apps 
while using VoiceOver.
It will still say, Direct Touch Area, but you can just go on and do whatever 
you normally do.

The direct touch is for apps that has their own TTS interface, but that’s why 
you turn off VoiceOver.

You asked what this dirct touch stuff is for? Only Apple knows.
I think Apple thinks they are making things better, but I am finding it more of 
a pain in the behind.
I just hope it is resolved in 14.4.

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon 
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep 
space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was 
young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."

 Hi, Everyone,

I play RS Games a lot and I also am having difficulty with this Direct Touch 
craziness.  Eventually, I get the app to work, but it takes some effort to do 
so.  What does this do anyway?  Pardon my ignorance!  Haha!

This has probably been discussed earlier, but I just updated to IOS 14.3. When 
I first used MBRAILLE to reply to a text it worked as expected. However, the 
next time I tried to use it I got “direct touch”, and couldn’t get anything 
!work. Also I got the “direct touch” notification when I tried to play one of 
the blindfold games. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.
God bless!
