Thank you for joining this helpful class on how to use accessibility features on your iPhone to make it easier to see, hear, and interact with your device. We hope you discovered some new tools to personalize your iPhone experience.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Adjust Text for Easier Reading

Use “Larger Text” and “Bold Text” in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size to make on-screen text easier to read. Larger text helps with visibility, while bold text can make words stand out without changing the screen layout.

Enable Screen Reading with Speak Screen

Activate "Speak Screen" under Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content. Then, swipe down with two fingers from the top of any screen to have the iPhone read aloud what's on the screen, great for long articles or easier access to text.

AssistiveTouch for Easier Navigation

Turn on AssistiveTouch under Settings > Accessibility > Touch to bring up an on-screen menu. This helps you access features like volume control, the app switcher, or Control Center without complex gestures, ideal if swiping is difficult.

Improve Hearing Support

In Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual, turn on LED Flash for Alerts to see a flash when you get notifications. Use the Balance control to shift audio toward your stronger ear, and enable Sound Recognition so your phone listens for important sounds like a doorbell, dog barking, or alarms.

Use Your iPhone as a Magnifying Glass

Open the Magnifier app (or add it to your Control Center) to zoom in on small text, like medication labels or receipts. You can also take a still image, zoom further, and even use your flashlight for better visibility in low light.

We hope these features help make your iPhone more accessible and useful in your daily life.
