This section gives you step by step instructions on how to enable and use Touch Accommodations in iOS 15, with pictures of the screens to help.
1. Open the Settings app. In the Settings app, scroll down and tap Accessibility.
2. Scroll down to Physical and Motor and tap Touch.
3. On the Touch screen, tap Touch Accommodations, then tap the toggle switch next to Touch Accommodations to turn it on.
4. The Hold Duration setting adjusts the amount of time you need to touch the screen for before a touch is recognised. Tap Hold Duration to turn the toggle switch to on. Adjust the time delay using the + (plus) and - (minus) buttons.
5. To allow swipe gestures to be recognised without waiting for the same delay, tap Swipe Gestures. On the next screen, tap the Swipe Gestures toggle switch to turn it on. Tap one of the Required Movement options to set how far your finger needs to move before iOS begins to register the gesture.
6. The Ignore Repeat feature adjusts the length of time in which multiple touches are counted as a single touch. This is useful if you tend to touch the screen a few times in quick succession when attempting a touch gesture. Tap Ignore Repeat to turn the toggle switch on, then adjust the duration using the + (plus) and - (minus) buttons.
7. Tap Assistance is useful for users whose fingers tend to move when they touch the screen. If your finger tends to move after you touch the screen, select Initial Touch Location. Your device will recognise your initial touch position rather that the final position.
8. If you have trouble placing your finger exactly where you want to, select Use Final Touch Location. This allows you to touch the screen then move your finger to the required position.
9. When Tap Assistance is enabled you can set a time limit within which you need to lift your finger from the screen for a tap to be recognised. You can set the Tap Assistant Gesture Delay time using the + (plus) and - (minus) buttons. Note: To perform gestures other than a tap, you'll need to keep touching the screen until the gesture delay times out, then perform the gesture.
10. When you are happy with your settings, you can return to the Home screen by swiping up from the bottom of the screen or pressing the Home button on devices with a Home button.
