Sandy, just to follow up, I got Live Recognition, and thanks o Richard,
and when I did the gesture Live recognition was activated.
I haven't got around to checking it out further but the gesture is
definitly qworking for me.
Inciddenttally, and it's probably just me! I find the tofour fingers
difficult to do especially the little finger but I guess practice makes
perfect as they say.
I prsume your iOS is all up-to-date and your phone is fairly recent.

Sandy, I also have the 16 pro, and just updated to 26.5.2 and the
four finger triple tap works fine. It is called live recognition.
Have you rebooted your phone?

Sandy, tsounds like that that was a very useful gesture indeed
which I never got around to using.
Anyway looks like one for Apple acccessibility as you appeared to
have tried everything to resolve this matter.
Not sure how to contact them from Ireland but one of those AI gbots
could assist you here in that one.
Good luck,

hello the list,
Something I use regularly is the object recogniser I think it's
called that, it's probably still under the measuring app, but in
iOS you can always pull it up by performing a four finger triple
Tap gesture. all of a sudden it stopped working for me. I'm running
the latest iOS on a 16 pro. I can go into settings for VoiceOver
and I have checked that it is ticked to work but it doesn't… i've
checked all my voice gestures and it is there and ticked. in case
you are thinking it's a matter of dexterity, I'd only have I use
this for at least a few years now, but also a quadruple four finger
Tap works for me and double four finger Tap works for me I have no
problem with the gesture for some reason nothing happens when I
perform it.
In case other people don't use this feature of iOS, it brings up a
menu of seems to be recognise such as seen doors text et cetera,
and I find it immensely useful and quick! so rather than launching
app I just performed this gesture look what I'm looking for and
move on by performing the gesture again which toggle it off. s so,
has anyone else tried the four finger triple Tap recently? and I
should mention, I have reset/restarted my phone a few times now
since I noticed his behaviour, and it's made no difference…
so, any help/advice would be very gratefully received!
All the best, from a mild and barmy Island, Sandy NZ
