For me the 2-finger double tap works every time both for answering, hanging up or for playing/pausing audio. Did you go to Settings, General, Accessibility and turn on "Reduce Motion"? This is definitely advisable since it also improves the success you will have with the fingerprint scanner. When you first double tap on it it' actually not a simple on/off, it first opens another window where the actual on/off switch is located along with a brief explanation as to what it does. So, I would check it and if it's off, do turn it on and see if that helps at all. If it doesn't I think the issue is not with the phone but the quality of your double tap. I don't want to sound patronizing, but sometimes we think we did a particular gesture and something else happens and for me at least in most cases I find I was sloppy performing the gesture. I would suggest you go into practice mode and practice your 2-finger double tap and see if Voiceover tells you the correct answer as to what the gesture you just did will do. It should say this: 2-finger double tap: start and stop the current action. For example, answers and hangs up a telephone call, starts and stops playback of music and video, starts and stops the stop watch, starts and stops video recording, takes a picture in camera, starts and stops voice memo recording, pauses and resumes voice mail message playback, stops custom voice mail greeting recording. One thing they didn't include in this list is that in iOS 7 a 2-finger double tap in any edit field except for password fields also starts and stops Dictation as long as your virtual keyboard is visible on the screen. You can enter help/practice mode either via the Accessibility menu or by performing a 4-finger double tap. You can exit by doing another 4-finger double tap or a scrub gesture or you can of course just press the home button. Good luck, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Lange Sent: Friday, February 07, 2014 5:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: two finger double tap to answer does not work on iPhone 5S Hi, The two-finger double-tap to answer calls can be a dicey proposition at times on my 5S, but it was that way on my iPhone 4, too. So I don't think your problem lies specifically with the 5S. Tom > Hello list > It seems that two finger double tap for answering a call > does not work on the iPhone 5S.
