Touch Accommodations With Touch Accommodations you can adjust how the screen responds to your touch. Control how long you touch before it’s recognized or whether repeat touches are ignored. You can put your finger down anywhere on the screen and move to the item you want without mistakenly performing an action.
Touch Accommodations includes three features. To use them:
- First go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations and turn on Touch Accommodations.
If you want your device to respond only to touches of a certain duration
You can set your device to respond to touches only after holding your finger on the screen for a certain period of time, called the hold duration.
Here’s how to start using Hold Duration:
- Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations.
- Turn on Hold Duration.
- Tap the – and + buttons to change the time.
If you want your device to ignore multiple touches
This feature could be helpful if you have tremors. If you have trouble touching the screen once—you touch the screen several times quickly—turn on Ignore Repeat. Then, if you touch the screen several times quickly, your device will treat them as one. You can change the amount of time that your device will treat several touches as one.
Here’s how to start using Ignore Repeat:
- Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations.
- Turn on Ignore Repeat.
- Tap the – and + buttons to change the time.
If you want your device to respond to the first or the last place you touch
If you touch the screen at the place you want, but your finger drags to a different place before you can make a selection, turn on Tap Assistance with Use Initial Touch Location.
If you have trouble touching the screen at the place you want, but you can move to it by dragging from another place, turn on Tap Assistance with Use Final Touch Location.
Here’s how to start using Tap Assistance:
- Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations.
- Tap Use Initial Touch Location or Use Final Touch Location.
With Tap Assistance, your device responds to a tap when you lift your finger within a certain period of time, called the gesture delay. Your device can respond to other gestures, like drags, if you wait longer than the gesture delay.
Tap the – and + buttons to change the gesture delay.
