I hope you will find Rita Howells helpful. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Katrina Anderson Sent: Tuesday, November 8, 2022 12:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Upgraded to iPhone 14 Pro and have questions
Thank you again. I knew most of that, but didn't know about the provided method for accessing notifications, which answers one of my questions written in another message. I Googled Rita Howells and saw some links that seem interesting; I will read through them later when I have a moment.

I put down here, pretty much what she said. 1. To go to Home page, place finger at bottom of screen; flick up until you hear a little pop. 2. To go to App Switcher, place finger at bottom of screen; flick up to second pot. To close any app, flick up from bottom of screen with three fingers. 3. To go to Control Panel, place finter at top of screen and flick down to the first pop. 4. To go to Notifications, flick down from top to second pop. Like anything else on the iPhone, it sort of takes doing it and getting familiar with it.

I'm not familiar with Rita Howells tutorial; can you tell me more about that? I should see if NBP has a publication that might help. I bought a publication, written by Anna Dresner and Dean Martineau, back when I got my first iPhone; it was a huge help. Hopefully one day I will have your skill, but in the meantime, thank you for the support.

But, Rita Howells had a great tutorial on the phones without buttons, so that when I got mine, I never looked back, never had a problem, and would not go back to a Home Button now. One thing about the flicking, say up one from the bottom to Home Page, light flick does it. I think the slightest pressure does not work, just light rub up the screen. -----Original Message----- From: 'Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 7, 2022 4:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Upgraded to iPhone 14 Pro and have questions Katriona, A couple of weeks ago, I made the same upgrade as you and can identify with your frustrations. First thing I did was set "home" as the macro for a double tap on the back of the phone. When I am in the control centre, especially by mistake, I find that I can get out by a scrub gesture. Mind you, you have to wait a second or two for it to move you out of the control centre. I too, have to make several attempts to use the bottom of screen and slide up, for the home button, So, rarely use it. Remember Siri can help. Instead of using the app switcher to go to another running app, I just reopen it using Siri. HTH a bit, and I am relying upon the fact that many here say that they don't miss the home button. I have always found the VO gestures intuitive and am disappointed with the one we have to use for Home and App Switcher. Mind you, I do think this is a much superior phone, especially, the camera functionality, than the 8. Sandy and Z.

Although I am managing to deal with no home button, it certainly isn’t easy yet. Although I will probably have additional questions in the future, for now, I would appreciate any answers or thoughts about the following: 1. I’m not able to sign in to the Instacart app. After entering the E-mail address and password, there appears to be a captcha, including a visual and audio challenge. I click on the audio option and then play; hear the challenge, but then I can’t move forward. There is a field to enter what I heard; I double tap, as VO says to do, and nothing; no keyboard is displayed and there’s no dictate button. You can click on a new challenge, visual challenge and verify (the latter results in VO saying “in progress” of course an answer was entered so I didn’t expect anything to happen). Hopefully there is an easy solution to this. 2. Voiceover (VO) is still not getting notifications on the lock screen. I had hoped this would be resolved by getting a newer phone. FYI, I have the setting for Siri to announce notifications turned off, as it seems redundant to have VO and Siri do the same thing, and because I thought it might cause a conflict. Thoughts? 3. Because of the design of the 14 Pro, I’m finding it less efficient to back out of menus, etc. On prior phones, I could quickly touch the top/left of the display to find the back button. Now, if I go to high, I activate the Control Center; if I could only activate the Home Screen and App Switcher as easily (i.e. I can activate them eventually but usually after numerous attempts to slide my finger from the bottom up). 😀 Now that I’m in the Control Center, I have to go through the attempts to return to the Home Screen, and then attempt to find the back button by swiping a lot. Is there an easier way to navigate menus, or tricks to make the process more efficient? 4. Is it possible to change a setting so that the Control Center doesn’t open when touching the top of the display? 5. Again, getting out of areas like the Control Center, App Switcher and submenus on the Home Screen can be done, but it is certainly a challenge. I put my finger at the bottom, above the lightening port, and slide up to the first vibration and let go. The thing is it takes me multiple attempts to feel the vibration, so I assume I didn’t start in the proper place, low enough, etc. Hopefully this will eventually get easier, but in the meantime suggestions are welcome. Is there an alternative to what I’m doing to exit these areas (e.g. can Siri help, could the side button help, etc.)? I recall someone reporting on this list, that she heard VO announce something to identify the Home Screen and App Switcher, and then she lifts her finger. Should VO be announcing that for me? I just get the vibration. Should I wait longer to let go in order to hear VO?
