Apple also offers an accessibility (http://www.imore.com/accessibility) option that lets you enable and customize a triple-click. You can choose between a few options so you can pick the one that's most convenient and useful for you.</p> <!--break--> <h2>How to enable and use the triple-click Home button shortcut on iPhone and iPad</h2> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong> on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>General</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Accessibility</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Accessibility Shortcut</strong> — it's all the way at the bottom. </li> <li>Choose the action you'd like to perform when you triple-click the Home button. </li> </ol><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-set-triple-home-click-shortcut-accessibility-iphone-or-ipad' title="How to set the triple Home-click shortcut for accessibility on iPhone or iPad"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/08/triple_click_home_howto_1.jpg?itok=HbZXk4LZ' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/how-set-triple-home-click-shortcut-accessibility-iphone-or-ipad' title="How to set the triple Home-click shortcut for accessibility on iPhone or iPad"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/08/triple_click_home_howto_2.jpg?itok=x1PtbUXe' />[/url]</p> <p>Here's a brief description of the options you have and what they are:</p> <ul><li>VoiceOver - Allows your iPhone or iPad to speak to you when enabled. Commonly used by folks with visual impairments. </li> <li>Invert Colors - A great option for anyone with a visual impairment such as color blindness. All colors across iOS will be inverted. </li> <li>Zoom - Allows you to zoom the Home screen and all other content for better visibility. You can then use two and three finger gestures to tap and pan around. </li> <li>Switch Control - Lets you use external switches, or the screen itself, as a switch for motor accessibility.</li> <li>AssistiveTouch - Adds the ability to access many common hardware buttons and gesture controls with single taps. A useful feature for those with motor impairments.</li> </ul><p>Once you've made your selection, simply triple-click the Home button from anywhere and your iPhone or iPad will enable the function you've selected. Triple-click it again to disable it. If you've assigned a triple-click function, what one do you use?</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26516"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3dd52af5/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
