Due to the accident in which I became blind back in 1984, I also lost the index and middle finger on each hand so doing a 4-finger tap with 3 fingers it not usually practical for me. I therefore have assigned a 1-finger triple tap to go to the first element on the screen and a 1-finger quadruple tap to go to the last element, basically what a 4-finger single tap does if performed on the top or bottom half of the phone. However, if I am sitting at my desk or at a table and don't have to hold my phone, I can use 2 fingers on each hand to do a 4-finger tap and I don't find it particular difficult and it typically works and does what it is supposed to do. I think what you are activating is Voiceover quick settings, can't remember if there is a default gesture for that.

I will havve a re-try and more carefully try the gesture again. Incidenttally is this the gesture you use or do you have anothe trick under your sleeve?
