The VoiceOver function is an important tool in our iPhone Xs as it allows the use of people with sensory disabilities such as blind or visually impaired. Thanks to this utility, a person with vision problems can “read” what is displayed on their iPhone. The good thing about it is that applications that use controls connected by default to iPhone buttons can use this function. Using these possibilities we allow a blind user to take photos, a deaf person can call or a person with reduced mobility can send messages. With VoiceOver we can create custom labels to configure the buttons of the applications ..

That the technology adapts to the needs of each person prevents exclusion and maladjustment towards users who do not have the same conditions. In this case, Apple, like other companies, has also decided to incorporate the VoiceOver function, which through gestures we can listen to a screen reading.

How to use VoiceOver
Among the functions we can perform with VoiceOver are:
  • We will double tap to select.
  • Touching only once in an area of ​​the screen the iPhone will say out loud what we are pressing.
  • We will use two fingers to make two touches to start or finish a task, for example, we can take a picture by touching with both fingers.
  • To move through a page we will use 3 fingers, something that is usually normal with one.
  • Perform two touches with three fingers to enable or disable voice commands from the lock monitor.

Next, we will see how to enable and disable VoiceOver on iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max in addition to being able to configure several of its functions..
