Got to play with a family members iPhone which has been updated to ios 13. So I had the chance to try out the new VoiceOver: swipe to type feature. From the little time I had with it, I was quite impressed.
This got me thinking though, can this new method of typing on IOS 13 be used in other keyboard apps? Like Swift Key or G Board? Or is it Apple Keyboard only?
Would be really cool if one could use it in different keyboard applications.
Does anyone here use Robbinhood? If so, you may have more insight on this than someone who doesn't, but here's the issue.
I wanted to buy some bitcoin for my portfolio, but when I finish the order, Robbinhood says swipe up to submit. How do I do this using VoiceOver?
Hi. On iPhone 16 pro max, latest OS. When touch the display to wake, I swipe once to the right and get "swipe up to unlock". If I keep swiping I'll get show notifications flashlight and camera. Of course this is after the time is spoken first. How can I stop swipe up to unlock? The voice Over hints are turned off and I restarted jus to make sure the settings took effect. Any ideas here? It's just info I really don't want or need. Thanks
So I have an amazing app that allows me to check my blood sugar at any time, it is called the Libre, made by Abbott. I would suggest any diabetic check it out.
Anyway, when I upgraded to 14, I wasn't able to swipe to the check glucose button after launching the app, and had to just run my finger all over the screen near the button to get to it, but it doesn't seem to be in a consistent location, I do this with other apps and can usually get pretty close if not right on buttons when I need to, such as send on the message app.
I just upgraded from a 6 SE to an 8. I was trying to play a Blindfold Solitaire game and had a terrible time swiping. I also found that I can't swipe up or down with 3 fingers anywhere. The phone has a screen protecter. Could that be the problem? Are eights more picky about where you swipe?
I am having issues with Apps when I swipe right. When the cursor gets half to three-quarters of the way down the screen, it immediately goes back to the start. It started with a Racing App that I use but now it is starting to happpen with Safari. I fear it may7 get worse. I'm wondering if anyone else is having similar issues? Thank you.
Hi all
I am using a journaling app for iOS called my thoughts, and it says to delete a journal you have to swipe. For the life of me I can't figure out how to swipe using vo. How do you swipe with vo? Is this possible?
Hello. I have found that using gestures to navigate between apps, for example, two instances of Safari on iPad works well. I had found a list of IOS iPad commands, and according to this list, Control Option Left Bracket and Control Option Right Bracket should allow the user to switch between the two apps displayed. When I press this key combination, focus moves to the split view divider, and not to the second instance of Safari in this case. This could be user error, but I have each instance of Safari taking up exactly half of the screen.
Hello.
I am learning how to use my keyboard to my phone. I cannot for the fragile, little life of me figure out how to switch between apps but I know it can be done but whatever I try it doesn’t work.
I do not have an Apple keyboard.
Hello, has anyone had an issue using iOS 13 with switching the cameras using FaceTime on iOS? Are used to just be able to tap on the video, either my video or the person I was speaking to use video, and find a flipped back camera, now, it seems to disappear before I get to it? Has any of you found a way to work around and get to the back camera quickly? It's almost like the screen only stays up for a short amount of time. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
I am purchasing an IPhone 4 S that belongs to a friend of mine. If possible, I would like to switch carriers because I can get more value and a better data package. Will Sprint unlock a IPhone that was originally purchased through Verizon?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. Please understand that I don't feel qualified to undertake the process of jail breaking on my own. I am just beginning to learn my way around my IPod Touch.
With my old iPhone 6 I was able to swipe left/right with 4 fingers when using VoiceOver to switch easily and quickly from app to app.
This seems not to work on my new iPhone XR.
I'm wondering if there is a different gesture we are supposed to use for this when using VoiceOver on the newer phones. When I get into the 4 finger double tap help, the phone says that swiping left/right with 4 fingers should work, but it doesn't work for me when trying to switch from the News app to my Mail app.
I was testing out Fleksy again the other day. It seems to be more accessible as time goes on.
The problem I had, however, was that I found it nearly impossible to switch back from the Fleksy keyboard to the standard Apple U.S. keyboard. I tried for many minutes and couldn't figure out how to change the keyboard with VoiceOver running. It was easy enough to switch from the U.S. keyboard to Fleksy, but I couldn't switch back again.
When I got my new iPhone, I moved the SIM card from my old cell phone to the new iPhone. When I double click on the voicemail tab, my old non-visual voicemail gets called. How do I correct this and get to the setup screen of the visual voicemail?

I have only had an IPhone since late November, it's a 5s, and up to now I've only been using it on my wifi connection here at home.
I just bought a pay as you go plan from T-Mobile this past Friday and I've just noticed that it looks like data's being used even when I'm on wifi. I want to use just my wifi at home and have it switch to the data connection automatically when I get too far away from my wifi connection but how do I do that?
in all prior IOS versions you used to be able to switch between language with a bluetooth keyboard with command plus the space bar. In IOS 9, however, this shortcut jumps to spot light search.
anyone knows the new shortcut to switch between languages using a hardware keyboard?
Hi folks!
I'm planning on upgrading from an iPhone SE (2022) to an iPhone 16. I know it'll be a big switch—different charger, no home button, and larger size, and I'm wondering if any of you have experience with one or both of the above models and could tell me what I can expect from the switch or whether I should switch at all?
Thank you and have a good day / night!
Hello listers. IPhone 4s with the latest version of IOS. During the past week I figured out my new iPhone and it is great. However, I cannot switch my alarm off in the morning. When the alarm goes off, I swipe from left to right, but I cannot find an Okay button to switch it off. I only find a snooze and an unlock button. Is there a way to switch off the alarm without snoozing? Thanks in advance.
