Is a dedicated back gesture is available for voiceover?

iOS and iPadOS

Hello All

I am AN android user switched to iPhone, I have one doubt in voiceover is there any dedicated back gesture afor voiceover screen reader. I am not talking about escape gesture that is two finger scrub. This gesture isl not working in every Time. If I want to go back to the previous webpage in a browser this escape gesture is not working there. I am talking about a dedicated back gesture for example in talk back we have a dedicated bag gesture swipe down and then left it will work in all the applications. Gg

Please let me know if there is any dedicated back gesture available?

Thanks!

There's no such gesture

No such gesture exists on the iOS platform, nope.
Could be something to suggest to Apple if you're so inclined, though!

Two finger scrub gesture…

Two finger scrub gesture... Right left then right, or think of it as a Z gesture if that helps. This backs you out of the current screen.

There is a way

Hello. If you're having trouble brushing two fingers, you can always customize it. For example, I use the four-finger down movement. Go to Settings / accessibility / voiceover / commands / touch gestures.

Not a two finger scrub.

Hello, thank you for your replies but as I said in the main thread the two finger scrub gesture is not working every time. It is just working when the reason I Dialog box or when we are willing to come back out of the quick settings and notifications only at the time it is working. But not all the time. And also I checked Apple is telling this ggesture ass escape gesture not the back gesture.

If you're trying to go back in a browser, there's a back button

I can't speak for any browser than Safari, but I would hope it would be the same.
