Siegar, The one-finger taps sound like a tip worth pursuing indeed.
Just goes to show there's often another way around.
Thanks,
Tony

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.

Siegar,
looks like that I then inadvertently activated the accessibility settings page
although I thought that I only placed four fingers once toward bottom of screen.
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?
Thanks,
Tony

If by accessibility page Tony means Help where you can practice gestures and so
on, then he is doing a 4-finger double tap without realizing it. Otherwise, are
you sure Tony you did not customize what the 4-finger tap does in Settings?

That is strange, it works for me.

The strange thing is that when I do a four-finger tap toward the bottom of
mail for example I'm somehow put on the accessibility page!

Tony, a four finger tap will take you to the bottom of the screen, but I don’t
think there’s a gesture to do what you want.

Hi folk,
I'm wondering what gesture[s you use for getting to the end of messages quickly
say in #WhatsApp, mail etc with VO active?
I use a two-finger swipe up to focus on the first message but thatt does not
appear to work in reverse.
Thanks,
Tony
