Appendix A Accessibility 151

Example 2: Let’s create the touch-and-hold gesture that you use to start rearranging icons on

your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, hold down your nger in one spot

until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your nger. Be careful not to move

your nger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a drag. Tap Save, then name the

gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, then choose your gesture from

Favorites. When the blue circle representing your touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon

and release.

If you record a sequence of taps or drags, they’re all played back at the same time. For example,

using one nger or a stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four locations on the

screen creates a simultaneous four-nger tap.

Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return to the

previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu.

Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen.

Adjust your accessory tracking speed. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >

AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.

Hide the menu button (with accessory attached). Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >

AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu.
