A couple of small correction here: "As your finger slides upward, three distinct vibrations will be felt, and if sound effects are turned on, three rising tones will be heard. The first of these is the Home Screen, the second I forgot, and the third is the App Switcher" There are no 3 options here, you have home screen with the first and app switcher with the second. When you place your finger at the bottom there is a tone, this would be the first, but there is no vibration. Second tone and first vibration is home screen and if you swipe up further you get a third tone and a second vibration and that is app switcher.
"Since iOS 15, the App Switcher now shows two views of open applications. One is a read-only list, the other contains actionable items" I believe you may refer to the initial bug in iOS 16 which showed some apps twice in the app switcher, but if you have updated to iOS 16.1 this is no longer the case. I am running the iOS 16.2 public beta, but even before I upgraded I never had two "views", I have a list of open apps and while some say "active" and some say nothing that doesn't mean I can't close those which don't say "active" by swiping up. And yes, you can swipe up with 3 fingers to close an application or you can flick up or down and Voiceover will say Close followed by the name of the app, e.g. "Close Mail". You can then double tap and the app will close. If you want to close multiple apps once you are on "close" and double tap the next app will slide in and you can simply continue to double tap since it remains on the "close" setting.

You're both talking at cross-purposes. 1. To engage the App Switcher, place one finger at the bottom center of the screen and swipe up quickly. As your finger slides upward, three distinct vibrations will be felt, and if sound effects are turned on, three rising tones will be heard. The first of these is the Home Screen, the second I forgot, and the third is the App Switcher. 2. Since iOS 15, the App Switcher now shows two views of open applications. One is a read-only list, the other contains actionable items. If you want to close an open application, find it in the list of items where VoiceOver actually says "Active," then swipe up with three fingers to close it. This is the three-finger gesture about which you are asking. On 11/15/2022 11:20 AM, Christopher Chaltain wrote: It is, and this is still working for me since I moved up to IOS 16. Was it working for you with IOS 15? If so then you shouldn’t be doing anything wrong, since it should work exactly the same. Put your finger at the very bottom of the screen and then move it up until you feel the second vibration. Lift your Finger, and you should be in the App Switcher. When you try this gesture, what are you getting? -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA From: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com><mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Rena Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2022 9:34 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: To use app switcher is still 3-finger swipe up?
