AssistiveTouch alternatives

AssistiveTouch helps users who have difficulty with physical gestures by providing alternative ways to control their devices. This accessibility feature transforms complex multi-touch gestures into simpler alternatives and allows custom action shortcuts.

Consider how users with limited mobility will interact with your app through AssistiveTouch:

• Replace complex gestures: Provide single-tap alternatives for pinch, rotate, or multi-finger gestures
• Support custom actions: Ensure interface elements work with AssistiveTouch menu shortcuts
• Design clear targets: Make interactive elements large enough for comfortable tapping
• Avoid gesture dependencies: Offer alternative ways to access features that rely on specific gestures
• Test edge cases: Ensure custom gesture recognizers don't conflict with AssistiveTouch

Remember that users might combine AssistiveTouch with other accessibility features like VoiceOver or Switch Control for complete device access.^[1]
