Click once on the iPhone's Home button, and (naturally
enough) will take you to the home screen. Double click the file, and you'll see
the iPhone multitasking bar at the bottom of the screen. But what happens if
you try triple-clicking the Home button?
Well, most of the time, you just wind up back in the home
screen or, if you're already on the home screen, the multitasking bar a short
game of peek-a-boo play.
But if you flip a switch deep in the Settings menu, you
will be able to choose between four (or five, strictly speaking) new features
triple-clicking the Home button to activate.
Tap Settings, General, Accessibility, and then scroll all
the way down to a setting labeled "Triple-click Home." Probably it is
set to "Off". Feeling adventurous? Then go ahead and tap.
You will see a quartet of actions that the iPhone can take you three times on the Home button. They include:
·
Toggle VoiceOver: Choose this option and the iPhone will switch to a mode
where it reads web pages, email, and navigation labels on its touchscreen, perfect
for iPhone users with visual impairments.
·
Toggle White on Black: In this mode, the iPhone reverses the colors on its
screen, resulting in a display that shows white text on a black background for
email, text messages, and most web pages. The inverted colors don’t stop there,
though; wait until you get a load of the groovy white-on-black home screen.
·
Toggle Zoom: Find yourself squinting at the tiny text on your
iPhone’s screen? Turn on the Zoom function to magnify the display with a
three-finger tap.
·
Toggle AssistiveTouch: Activates a mode that lets you “pinch” or swipe the
display—or even “shake” the entire phone, for that matter—without actually
having to pinch, swipe, or shake, an essential feature for anyone without the
full use of their fingers.
