Published in iPhone Features 2 mins read

The accessibility shortcut on an iPhone is a feature that lets you quickly access various accessibility settings with a single tap. You can customize this shortcut to trigger different actions, such as:

  • Turning on VoiceOver: This feature reads aloud the content on your screen, making it easier for visually impaired users.
  • Activating Zoom: This feature magnifies the display, making it easier for people with low vision to see the content.
  • Enabling AssistiveTouch: This feature adds a virtual button on the screen that allows users with motor impairments to control their iPhone.
  • Launching the Accessibility Shortcut Menu: This menu gives you access to a variety of accessibility settings, including the ones listed above.

You can access the accessibility shortcut on your iPhone by:

  • Going to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut.
  • Selecting the accessibility feature you want to use.

Once you've set up the accessibility shortcut, you can access it by:

  • Triple-clicking the side button (on iPhone 8 and later).
  • Triple-clicking the Home button (on older iPhone models).

This will trigger the accessibility feature you've selected.
