Quickly open features with Accessibility Shortcut on iPad

When you add features to Accessibility Shortcut, you can just triple-click a physical button and tap to quickly open the feature you want.

Add features to Accessibility Shortcut

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then tap to select the features you use the most.

    Note: To add some features—like Guided Access or Assistive Access—to Accessibility Shortcut, you must first turn them on.

  2. To rearrange the order they appear, drag the Reorder button to move a feature up or down.

Open Accessibility Shortcut

  1. Triple-click one of the following:

    • The Home button (on an iPad with a Home button)

    • The top button (on other iPad models)

  2. Tap the feature you want to turn on or off.

  3. To slow down the double-click or triple-click speed, see Adjust settings for the top or Home button.

When Assistive Access is on, Accessibility Shortcut can’t be opened. To open it while Guided Access is on, you must first turn on Accessibility Shortcut when you set up Guided Access.

You can also add Accessibility Shortcut to Control Center, then reach your shortcuts with an onscreen swipe instead of triple-clicking a physical button. (Magnifier, Text Size, Guided Access, and Hearing can be added directly to Control Center.)

Tip: Many accessibility features can be turned on and off with Siri. Learn how to use Siri.
