Siri
Siri is often the easiest way to start using accessibility features with iPhone. With Siri, you can
open apps, turn many settings on or o (like VoiceOver), or use Siri for what it does best—acting
as your assistant. Siri knows when VoiceOver is on, so will often read more information back to
you. You can also use VoiceOver to read what Siri shows on the screen. See Make requests on
page 50.
Widescreen keyboards
Many apps, including Mail, Safari, Messages, Notes, and Contacts, let you rotate iPhone when
you’re typing, so you can use a larger keyboard.
Large phone keypad
Make phone calls simply by tapping entries in your contacts and favorites lists. When you need
to dial a number, the large numeric keypad on iPhone makes it easy. See Make a call.
LED Flash for Alerts
If you can’t hear the sounds that announce incoming calls and other alerts, you can have iPhone
ash its LED (next to the camera lens on the back of iPhone). This works only when iPhone is
locked or asleep.
Note: This is a great feature for all users who, when in a loud environment, may miss the tones
associated with calls, texts, and other alerts.
Turn on LED Flash for Alerts. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > LED Flash for Alerts.
Call audio routing
You can have the audio of incoming or outgoing calls automatically routed through a headset or
speaker phone instead of iPhone.
Reroute audio for calls. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Call Audio Routing, then
choose how you want to hear and speak your calls.
You can also have audio from calls routed to your hearing aids; see Hearing aids on page 172.
Phone noise cancelation
iPhone uses ambient noise cancelation to reduce background noise.
Turn noise cancelation on or o. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Phone
Noise Cancelation.
Guided Access
Guided Access helps an iPhone user stay focused on a task. Guided Access dedicates iPhone to a
single app, and lets you control which app features are available. Use Guided Access to:
