Let me walk you through them.<\/p>\n1. Vehicle Motion Cues<\/h3>\nIf you experience motion sickness while using your iPhone while traveling by road or plane, the new Vehicle Motion Cues feature in iOS 18 can help. To enable it, go to Settings<\/strong> \u2192 Accessibility<\/strong> \u2192 Motion<\/strong> \u2192 Show Vehicle<\/strong> Motion<\/strong> Cues<\/strong> and choose an option. Read our detailed guide on Vehicle Motion Cues to learn more about how to use it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n2. VoiceOver<\/span><\/h3>\nWhen you activate VoiceOver, it audibly reports every happening on your iPhone, including every button you touch. When you tap a button or an app, a voice tells you what it is. You can then double-tap that button to activate or launch it.<\/p>\nTo activate VoiceOver<\/strong> on iPhone or iPad:<\/p>\n\nOpen Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\nTap\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nFrom there, select\u00a0VoiceOver<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on\u00a0VoiceOver<\/strong>.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\nIf prompted, double-tap OK<\/strong> to activate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nYou can also adjust pitch range, change language settings and voice, and more.<\/p>\n3. Adjust text size, buttons, and more<\/span><\/h3>\nYou can also adjust text size, highlight buttons, and bold text. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\nFrom Settings, tap\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect\u00a0Display & Text Size<\/strong>.<\/li>\nTo bold texts:\n<\/li>\nTo adjust text size:\n\nTap\u00a0Larger Text<\/em><\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on\u00a0Larger Accessibility Sizes<\/em><\/strong>.<\/li>\nMove the slider towards the right to increase text size on your iPhone or iPad.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nTo underline buttons:\n\nToggle on\u00a0Button Shapes<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n4. Magnify content<\/span><\/h3>\nYou can use Zoom to magnify the entire screen<\/a> while using apps or typing on your iPhone or iPad. I recommend this option if you have difficulty seeing small texts. Or if you need a more precise focus on icons.<\/p>\nTo activate:<\/p>\n\nOpen Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\nGo to\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect\u00a0Zoom<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on\u00a0Zoom<\/strong>.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOnce active, double-tap with three fingers to switch between zooming in and out. Swipe across the screen with three fingers to move around your device when you zoom icons. <\/p>\n5. Reduce UI motion<\/span><\/h3>\nIt can be hard to visually catch up when actions and movements are too quick on your iPhone. You can slow them down for better comprehension and follow-up. So at least, you\u2019ll know what\u2019s happening next on your device.<\/p>\nTo do this:<\/p>\n\nFrom the\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>\u00a0menu in Settings<\/strong>, tap\u00a0Motion<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on Reduce Motion<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n6. Set up Spoken Content<\/span><\/h3>\nYou can also listen to written texts when you activate\u00a0Spoken Content\u00a0on your iPhone or iPad. This feature is helpful if you have difficulty reading.<\/p>\nSetting it up is simple:<\/p>\n\nOpen Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect\u00a0Spoken Content<\/strong>\u00a0from the\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>\u00a0menu.<\/li>\nToggle on\u00a0Speak Selection<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSwitch on\u00a0Speak Screen<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect\u00a0Speech Controller<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on\u00a0Show Controller<\/strong>.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nNow, go ahead and open a message on your iPhone or online. Long-tap the\u00a0Speech Controller<\/strong>\u00a0icon at the top-left to read it in a speech.<\/p>\niPhone assistive physical features<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nAssistive features are physical and motor setups that let you create shortcuts for regularly used functions on your iPhone or iPad. These are some tips for using these accessibility features.<\/p>\n7. Eye Tracking<\/h3>\nEye Tracking is a remarkable feature that helps individuals with motor disabilities navigate their iPhones using only their eyes. It can also be useful for hands-free operation. To enable Eye Tracking in iOS 18, go to Settings<\/strong> \u2192 Accessibility<\/strong> \u2192 Eye<\/strong> Tracking<\/strong> and follow the setup instructions. For a detailed guide on how to use this feature, check out our in-depth article on Eye Tracking<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n8. Use AssistiveTouch<\/span><\/h3>\nAssistiveTouch eliminates the need to follow several steps before you can use certain iPhone features. When activated, it spins up a single button on your device for activating gestures like switching the torch, taking screenshots, switching between apps, and more.<\/p>\nAnd you can also customize what happens when you single-tap, double-tap, or long-press AssistiveTouch<\/strong>. For better insights, you might want to look at our comprehensive guide on\u00a0how to use AssistiveTouch on iPhone and iPad<\/a>.<\/p>\n9. Leverage back tap<\/span><\/h3>\nThere have been rumors that the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone works when you tap it. Well, it does! And it\u2019s moderately responsive as well. But it doesn\u2019t work until you set it up.<\/p>\nAs you can with AssistiveTouch, you can select what happens when you double- or triple-tap this logo. You\u2019ll also need to go into Accessibility to\u00a0set up the back tap gesture on your iPhone<\/a>. But if it doesn\u2019t respond sharply or doesn\u2019t work at all, we have potent\u00a0back tap fixes<\/a>\u00a0you can try as well.<\/p>\n10. Customize what happens when Face ID Unlocks the iPhone<\/span><\/h3>\nYou can also modify what happens whenever you open your device with Face ID. For instance, you can set your iPhone to require attention before it opens. This makes your device stricter as it requires a closer gaze before it unlocks.<\/p>\nYou can also choose to dim the iPhone light after using it for a long time. And when you switch on\u00a0Haptic on Successful Authentication<\/em>, your device plays a sound indicating that it\u2019s now unlocked. That feature is more helpful if you\u2019re always in doubt whether your phone is unlocked or not.<\/p>\nTo access these features:<\/p>\n\nOpen Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\nGo to\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect\u00a0Face ID<\/strong>\u00a0& Attention<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on all three buttons in the next menu to activate these features.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n11. Tap to wake and activate Vibration<\/span><\/h3>\nLike the\u00a0raise to wake feature on iPhone<\/a>, you can also configure your device to turn on the screen light whenever you tap it. Vibration<\/strong> keeps your iPhone in vibration mode even when the screen is off. So, at least, you can get emergency alerts even when you\u2019re not actively using them.<\/p>\nTo activate these features:<\/p>\n\nGo to Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\nIn the\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>\u00a0menu, select\u00a0Touch<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on\u00a0the Tap to Wake<\/strong> and Vibration<\/strong> options.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nYou can now wake your iPhone by merely tapping the screen when the screen light is off.<\/p>\n12. Use Voice Control<\/span><\/h3>\nPerhaps another lazy feature that the iPhone has added to our lives. Voice Control listens to everything happening around you and can type them for you.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a valuable function to explore if you hate typing all the time while texting or chatting. You might want to see this comprehensive guide on the\u00a0use of voice control on the iPhone<\/a>\u00a0to get started.<\/p>\n13. Customize the side button<\/span><\/h3>\nYou can customize the side button for anything ranging from activating Siri to classic voice control. You can even adjust the click speed to suit your needs. To do this:<\/p>\n\nGo to\u00a0Settings<\/strong> \u2192\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nTap\u00a0the Side Button<\/strong>.<\/li>\nTo adjust click speed:\n\nChoose between\u00a0Default<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em>Slow,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>or\u00a0<\/em>the\u00a0Slowest\u00a0<\/strong>option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nTo dictate what happens when you long-press the side button:\n\nTap\u00a0<\/em>Siri<\/strong>\u00a0to listen for \u201cHey Siri.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nOr select\u00a0Classic Voice Control\u00a0<\/strong>to use voice control while executing actions like calling and more.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\niPhone hearing aid accessibility tips<\/span><\/h2>\niPhone accessibility also offers features that improve hearing. And you can control the amount of sound that enters your eardrums while using your headphones or earbuds. Besides these, there are also many other general tips you can try to make your iPhone classier.<\/p>\nLet\u2019s explore them.<\/p>\n14. Music Haptics<\/h3>\nMusic Haptics<\/a> is an immersive feature that enhances your music streaming experience by providing tactile feedback that syncs with the type of music playing on your iPhone. Additionally, it can serve as an accessibility feature for individuals with hearing impairments, allowing them to sense when music playback is triggered on their iPhones. <\/p>\nTo enable it, go to Settings \u2192 Accessibility \u2192 Music Haptics and turn it on.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n15. Per-App Settings<\/h3>\nIf you want visual adjustments only in certain apps rather than across the entire UI, the Per-App Settings in Accessibility can help. This feature allows you to individually customize settings like Bold Text, Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion, and more on a per-app basis. Check out our detailed guide on Per-App Settings<\/a> to learn how to use it effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n16. Pair hearing aids<\/span><\/h3>\nIf you use made-for iPhone hearing aids, you can pair them with your iPhone from the Accessibility menu. When you do so, you can improve sound quality on your iPhone while listening to podcasts, music, or making calls.<\/p>\nTo pair a hearing aid on an iPhone:<\/p>\n\nOpen Settings<\/strong> \u2192\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nScroll down and select\u00a0Hearing Devices<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect your hearing aid device from the result.<\/li>\nNow, go back and toggle on\u00a0Hearing Aid Compatibility<\/strong>.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n17. Sound Recognition<\/span><\/h3>\nSound recognition<\/a> lets your iPhone notify you via alerts when an event occurs or in case of a sudden event. This could be a fire outbreak or any other emergency.<\/p>\nTo activate:<\/p>\n\nGo to Settings<\/strong> \u2192\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nScroll down and tap\u00a0Sound Recognition<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on\u00a0Sound Recognition<\/strong>.<\/li>\nTo set alerts for different events, tap\u00a0Sounds<\/strong>.<\/li>\nChoose any of the listed events and toggle it on.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\nHint<\/em><\/strong>: you might want to use different alert tones for various events<\/em>:\n\nSo tap\u00a0<\/em>Alert Tones<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0to select a sound for an event.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n18.

Music Haptics<\/h3>\nMusic Haptics<\/a> is an immersive feature that enhances your music streaming experience by providing tactile feedback that syncs with the type of music playing on your iPhone. Additionally, it can serve as an accessibility feature for individuals with hearing impairments, allowing them to sense when music playback is triggered on their iPhones. <\/p>\nTo enable it, go to Settings \u2192 Accessibility \u2192 Music Haptics and turn it on.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n15. Per-App Settings<\/h3>\nIf you want visual adjustments only in certain apps rather than across the entire UI, the Per-App Settings in Accessibility can help. This feature allows you to individually customize settings like Bold Text, Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion, and more on a per-app basis. Check out our detailed guide on Per-App Settings<\/a> to learn how to use it effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n16. Pair hearing aids<\/span><\/h3>\nIf you use made-for iPhone hearing aids, you can pair them with your iPhone from the Accessibility menu. When you do so, you can improve sound quality on your iPhone while listening to podcasts, music, or making calls.<\/p>\nTo pair a hearing aid on an iPhone:<\/p>\n\nOpen Settings<\/strong> \u2192\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nScroll down and select\u00a0Hearing Devices<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect your hearing aid device from the result.<\/li>\nNow, go back and toggle on\u00a0Hearing Aid Compatibility<\/strong>.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n17.

Adjust Audio\/Visual settings<\/span><\/h3>\n
You can use Zoom to magnify the entire screen<\/a> while using apps or typing on your iPhone or iPad. I recommend this option if you have difficulty seeing small texts. Or if you need a more precise focus on icons.<\/p>\nTo activate:<\/p>\n\nOpen Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\nGo to\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect\u00a0Zoom<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on\u00a0Zoom<\/strong>.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOnce active, double-tap with three fingers to switch between zooming in and out. Swipe across the screen with three fingers to move around your device when you zoom icons. <\/p>\n5. Reduce UI motion<\/span><\/h3>\nIt can be hard to visually catch up when actions and movements are too quick on your iPhone. You can slow them down for better comprehension and follow-up. So at least, you\u2019ll know what\u2019s happening next on your device.<\/p>\nTo do this:<\/p>\n\nFrom the\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>\u00a0menu in Settings<\/strong>, tap\u00a0Motion<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on Reduce Motion<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n6.

These are some tips for using these accessibility features.<\/p>\n7. Eye Tracking<\/h3>\nEye Tracking is a remarkable feature that helps individuals with motor disabilities navigate their iPhones using only their eyes. It can also be useful for hands-free operation. To enable Eye Tracking in iOS 18, go to Settings<\/strong> \u2192 Accessibility<\/strong> \u2192 Eye<\/strong> Tracking<\/strong> and follow the setup instructions.

Use AssistiveTouch<\/span><\/h3>\nAssistiveTouch eliminates the need to follow several steps before you can use certain iPhone features. When activated, it spins up a single button on your device for activating gestures like switching the torch, taking screenshots, switching between apps, and more.<\/p>\nAnd you can also customize what happens when you single-tap, double-tap, or long-press AssistiveTouch<\/strong>. For better insights, you might want to look at our comprehensive guide on\u00a0how to use AssistiveTouch on iPhone and iPad<\/a>.<\/p>\n9. Leverage back tap<\/span><\/h3>\nThere have been rumors that the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone works when you tap it. Well, it does! And it\u2019s moderately responsive as well. But it doesn\u2019t work until you set it up.<\/p>\nAs you can with AssistiveTouch, you can select what happens when you double- or triple-tap this logo. You\u2019ll also need to go into Accessibility to\u00a0set up the back tap gesture on your iPhone<\/a>. But if it doesn\u2019t respond sharply or doesn\u2019t work at all, we have potent\u00a0back tap fixes<\/a>\u00a0you can try as well.<\/p>\n10. Customize what happens when Face ID Unlocks the iPhone<\/span><\/h3>\nYou can also modify what happens whenever you open your device with Face ID. For instance, you can set your iPhone to require attention before it opens. This makes your device stricter as it requires a closer gaze before it unlocks.<\/p>\nYou can also choose to dim the iPhone light after using it for a long time. And when you switch on\u00a0Haptic on Successful Authentication<\/em>, your device plays a sound indicating that it\u2019s now unlocked. That feature is more helpful if you\u2019re always in doubt whether your phone is unlocked or not.<\/p>\nTo access these features:<\/p>\n\nOpen Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\nGo to\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect\u00a0Face ID<\/strong>\u00a0& Attention<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on all three buttons in the next menu to activate these features.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n11.

Vibration<\/strong> keeps your iPhone in vibration mode even when the screen is off. So, at least, you can get emergency alerts even when you\u2019re not actively using them.<\/p>\nTo activate these features:<\/p>\n\nGo to Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\nIn the\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>\u00a0menu, select\u00a0Touch<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on\u00a0the Tap to Wake<\/strong> and Vibration<\/strong> options.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nYou can now wake your iPhone by merely tapping the screen when the screen light is off.<\/p>\n12.

There have been rumors that the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone works when you tap it. Well, it does! And it\u2019s moderately responsive as well. But it doesn\u2019t work until you set it up.<\/p>\n
As you can with AssistiveTouch, you can select what happens when you double- or triple-tap this logo. You\u2019ll also need to go into Accessibility to\u00a0set up the back tap gesture on your iPhone<\/a>. But if it doesn\u2019t respond sharply or doesn\u2019t work at all, we have potent\u00a0back tap fixes<\/a>\u00a0you can try as well.<\/p>\n10. Customize what happens when Face ID Unlocks the iPhone<\/span><\/h3>\nYou can also modify what happens whenever you open your device with Face ID. For instance, you can set your iPhone to require attention before it opens. This makes your device stricter as it requires a closer gaze before it unlocks.<\/p>\nYou can also choose to dim the iPhone light after using it for a long time. And when you switch on\u00a0Haptic on Successful Authentication<\/em>, your device plays a sound indicating that it\u2019s now unlocked. That feature is more helpful if you\u2019re always in doubt whether your phone is unlocked or not.<\/p>\nTo access these features:<\/p>\n\nOpen Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\nGo to\u00a0Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSelect\u00a0Face ID<\/strong>\u00a0& Attention<\/strong>.<\/li>\nToggle on all three buttons in the next menu to activate these features.\n\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n11.
