Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.
The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the subsequent gesture as
standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, then without lifting your finger,
drag your finger to slide a switch.

Memos, or Photos. Take a picture (Camera). Start or pause recording in Camera or
Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch.

Three-finger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.

Three-finger triple tap: Turn the display on or off.

Do single-finger flicking gestures quickly, to distinguish them from dragging gestures.

Rotor Control

The rotor control is an invisible dial that you can use to change the results of up and
down flick gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.
Operate the rotor: Rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen to “turn” the dial to
choose between options.
