Switch Control
Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control iPhone using your touchscreen as a switch or using a
connected single switch or multiple switches. Use any of several methods to perform
actions such as selecting, tapping, pressing, dragging, typing, and even free-hand drawing.
Basically, you use a switch to select an item or location on the screen, and then use the
same (or different) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or location. Three
basic methods are:
Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you select
one.
Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location.
Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple
switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a
menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, press, drag, or
pinch, for example).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and
customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning
screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.
You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific
needs and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use any of these as a switch:
An external adaptive switch: Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth
switches.
The iPhone screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch. (Or, on iPhone 6s and iPhone
6s Plus, press the screen.)
The iPhone FaceTime camera: Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the
camera as two switches: one switch triggers when you move your head to the left, and
the other when you move your head to the right.
