Tony,
And a happy summers day to you too! I don't have the impression it's an Ireland thing because everything shows up on the VoiceOver with regard to live recognition settings, nothing's dimmed out… I suppose, I should try the Measure app and invoke live recognition from that and see if it works, that's a thought…
Thanks again, Sandy and Z

I hate to say this but it's possible Live Recognition is now not permitted in Ireland but I trust I'm absolutely wrong about that one.

Perhaps Dominique or someone else from Ireland could confirm or not.

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
