Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Switches. If you use only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
If you’re adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPhone before it will appear in
the list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it
connects using Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPhone—turn on the switch, go to Settings
> Bluetooth, tap the switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more information, see
.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then
turn on Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button. See .
Turn off Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select and tap Settings > General >
Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn off Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button.
Basic techniques
Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the same.
Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch you’ve set up as your Select
Item switch. If you are using a single switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu that
appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on how you configure
tap behavior. (To choose an option, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Tap Behavior.)
With Default on: The control menu usually includes only the Tap button and the More
button (two dots at the bottom). If you’re in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll
button also appears. To tap the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button when
Tap is highlighted. To see additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom of the
menu. If you have multiple switches, you can set one up specifically for tapping.
With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when
the Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you haven’t changed it). To see the
control menu, trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires. The
control menu skips the Tap button and goes right to the full set of action buttons.
With Always Tap on: Tap to select the highlighted item rather than display the control
menu. Wait until the end of the scan cycle, then tap a button to display the control
menu.
