Hi Steve, Just for clarification, are you saying you can one finger tap one time and the screen curtain turns on and off? Are you using iOS 14.4?

So, thought I, how far does this go? I tried toggling screen curtain again, but this time making the second and third taps in the gesture with only one finger. It worked again! So then I tried it the other way--tap with more fingers on the subsequent taps. This yielded some interesting results. Mostly, if there were more fingers tapping in the subsequent taps, you got the function that the more-fingers multitap gesture would have executed; for example, a three-tap multitap gesture consisting of first three, then four,then four taps results in the equivalent gesture--a tri-finger triple-tap--which copies the last thing VoiceOver spoke to the clikpboard. I haven't gotten real crazy yet and tried increasing numbers of taps in a multi-tap gesture, such as 2-3-4, or even 3-4-2, but clearly there's something going on here that I'm wondering if Apple is planning to implement in future versions of VoiceOver that might give yet even more functionality to the multitap gestures when different numbers of fingers are used for each tap. For now, fewer fingers are taken as the number of fingers in the first tap, while more fingers are interpreted as that number of fingers in the first tap even if it's in fact less, like 3-4-4. Very interesting. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
