External switch or keyboard
If you’re unable to use a touchscreen, Switch Access lets you control the phone using external switches or keyboard keys to select items, scroll,
enter text, and more.
To use Switch Access, you must have one of the following:
• An external switch. USB or Bluetooth switch devices send keystroke signals to your phone.
• An external keyboard. Standard USB or Bluetooth keyboards can work as switch devices by assigning one or more keys to actions.
Connect the external device to your phone using the manufacturer’s instructions. Learn more about connecting with Bluetooth.
