Basic techniques
Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the same.
Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch you’ve set up as your Select Item
switch. If you are using a single switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
Perform an action on the selected item. Select a command from the control menu that appears
when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on whether you use Auto Tap.
With Auto Tap o: The control menu includes only the Tap button and the More button (two
dots at bottom). If you’re in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll button also appears. To tap
the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button when Tap is highlighted. To see additional
action buttons, select More at the bottom of the menu. If you have multiple switches, you can set
one up specically for tapping.
With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when the Auto
Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you haven’t changed it). To see the control menu, trigger
your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires. The control menu skips the Tap
button and goes right to the full set of action buttons.
Turn on Auto Tap. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Tap. To tap an
item with Auto Tap on, just wait for the Auto Tap interval to expire.
Dismiss the control menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. Or, choose Escape from the
control menu. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify at Settings >
General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops.
Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the control menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
With Auto Tap o: Select the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the control menu. Or,
for more scrolling options, select More, then select Scroll.
With Auto Tap on: Select Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available, you might
have to select More rst.
Tap the home button. Select Home in the control menu.

appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:
