Learn to master your iPhone using VoiceOver!
In part 2 of our VoiceOver series, we begin to use the rotor gesture for navigation and settings. We also demonstrate how to configure the rotor to suit your needs.
December 2024, iOS 18
 
What You’ll Learn:
• How to use the rotor gesture by twisting two fingers on the screen to cycle through VoiceOver’s available options.
• How rotor settings like Headings or Speaking Rate change how swipes work, helping you navigate content more efficiently.
• How to customize which rotor options appear by adjusting your settings in Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor.
 
Pro Tips Shared:
• Think of the rotor gesture like twisting a bottle cap— often, shorter, faster twists improves recognition.
• If a rotor option isn’t showing up, the VoiceOver focus may be on a part of the screen where that option isn’t available.
• Customize your rotor based on your habits—add options like “Buttons” if you know you’ll be using a page with just a few important ones.
