    Today I learned: you can do a one finger triple tap to simulate the long press on your iPhone with voiceover. This is much easier for most people than the double tap and hold with one finger. My colleague and I learned this just today while teaching our agency iPhone group class. We were very excited. Is this news to anyone else who uses VoiceOver on their iPhone?

      @CreativeChris I don't recall when I discovered this. I think it was one of those things I discovered quite by accident. I always use this gesture now. As you said, it's much easier.

          @CreativeChris @DavidGoldfield Yes and I'm not sure why I'm surprised. Wonder in which version of iOS it appeared?

              @CreativeChris I've known about this for a while. This also has the interesting side effet of the double activate actually being mapped to a quadruple dap, which can be though of as 2 quick double taps, where as before, back in the ios6 days, to double tap something in the UI you did the tripple tap with 1 finger.

                  @CreativeChris Nope. Been doing that for years now. Can't remember whether I new that when the first edition of my book went out back in 2020 but it was definitely there by the time I released the second edition in 22. I don't miss the double tap and hold gesture.

                    @mfeir @CreativeChris That double tap and hold gesture was never my favorite either.:)

                      @CreativeChris Yes, I just tried it. I've been an iPhone user since 2009 and never knew about this.

                      Most likely unpopular opinion: now if Apple could make an option to allow for single tap navigation (EG: 1 tap vs 2 to activate) that would be great.
