Great morning fellow Mastodon friends. Here’s a question that came up because of a situation last night. We needed to use Siri in a noisy situation, but we couldn’t figure out how to use the type to siri command. It says to double tap on the bottom edge of your phone, but with voiceover, that does not seem to work. We know though, that it doesn’t work because VoiceOver is itself is on, and even the triple tap doesn’t work, as it brings up the context menu for the highlighted app. The type to siri setting is turned on. Any suggestions on how to get it to work? We even tried looking in the back tap settings, but the command does not appear there either. #Accessibility #A11y @ShariRockz

@wmj1102@tweesecake.social four finger swipe up from bottom may work, but not sure if this needs to be enabled somewhere else or not.

@wmj1102@tweesecake.social @DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca @ShariRockz@tweesecake.social I believe it's four-finger swipe up or down, can't remember while typing this! :)

@wmj1102@tweesecake.social @ShariRockz@tweesecake.social I know I used to accidentally invoke it when I was trying to open the app switcher, so I ended up turning that feature off.

@wmj1102@tweesecake.social That four-finger swipe down worked perfectly! Thank you all so much!

@wmj1102@tweesecake.social For me, it works if I simply swipe down with four fingers from the top.
