Customise 3D Touch

3D Touch is a cool feature that

allows you to press down on items with

varying degrees of pressure to reveal content

previews, actions and contextual menus.

You can customise the sensitivity by going

to Accessibility>3D Touch and choosing an

option. You can also try it out here.

Shake to undo

By default, our iPhones are set up

so that you can undo actions, such as text,

by shaking your device. If you tend to shake

your iPhone a lot by mistake then you can go

to Accessibility>Shake to Undo and turn the

feature off. Having it enabled is still a good

time-saver though, if you remember to use it.

Re-route audio

Picking up your iPhone to answer

calls is so yesteryear. These days a lot of

us do it wirelessly by having the audio from

calls and FaceTime chats re-routed to a

Bluetooth headset or smart speaker. Go to

Accessibility>Call Audio Routing to select a

different device to send it to.

36. Delete gestures
    If you want to remove custom
    gestures that you have created
    for AssistiveTouch, simply
    swipe to the left on a gesture in
    the list and then tap ‘Delete’.


37. Adjust opacity
    By tapping on the ‘Idle Opacity’
    option, you can determine how
    prominent the AssistiveTouch menu
    icon is on your screen. Simply use
    the slider provided to adjust the
    opacity while the menu is idle.


38. Position menu
    The AssistiveTouch menu can
    be repositioned to sit anywhere
    on your iPhone screen. Just
    press, hold and drag it to your
    preferred position around the
    edges of the display.


39. Custom Actions
    As well as the AssistiveTouch menu
    providing access to key features,
    you can also assign shortcuts
    to the menu button itself. Under
    ‘Custom Actions’, assign additional
    features by double-tapping, long-
    pressing and 3D Touching the icon.
