There is one of the elements of the iPhone ”” or the iPad ”” that is used very often. This is the start button. It is used to return, at any time, to the home screen, to activate Siri or, through a double press, you can jump from one application to another. However, this is one of the most damaged parts. And to avoid this, both the iPhone and the iPad offer the possibility of placing a virtual home button on the screen that will be present at all times. We show you how to activate it and what you can do with it.
Both the oil on the face and the dirt on the hands can be responsible for the fact that, in the long run, the central button of the iPhone or iPad deteriorates and stops working. Moreover, due to a blow or a malfunction, any of its physical buttons do not respond properly. Hence, Apple put among the multiple options of its operating system, an option that is known under the name of Assistive Touch. What does this option represent for the user? Mainly allows the customer to control your computer without touching a single physical button; the only one that should be used is the one that is responsible for turning on / off the iPhone or iPad.
Now let's see how this function is activated. The first thing to do is go to the "Settings" menu that will be on the first screen of the unit "" as long as the situation has not changed "". Once inside, you will have to choose the "General" option and look inside the "Accessibility" submenu. Within it, it will be possible to verify that there is, among the last options, the possibility of activating this function called Assistive Touch.
Once activated, the customer will be able to see how a small mark appears instantly on the screen that will always be present. Pressing it will show different options. There will be four and they are classified as Gestures, Favorites, Device and Home. With the last option, the user can put aside the famous "Home" button "" central button "" and do the same functions with the virtual version.
With the first option, the iPhone or iPad offers the possibility of operating the computer with a different number of fingers: two, three, four or five. Everything will depend on the needs of the client. Meanwhile, the other option is to be able to virtually manipulate most of the controls such as being able to raise or lower the sound volume, block the rotation of the screen, lock the screen so that it does not respond to any keystroke or to be able to rotate the screen in the address that interests you most.
Finally, the favorite gestures, or those that are used the most, can also be saved to be able to access all of them quickly. What's more, from the "Assistive Touch" menu itself, you can create and save custom gestures, such as the default gesture, which is pinching the screen to zoom . The client will only have to match their fingers with the blue dots that will appear on the screen.
