AssistiveTouch

An iOS accessibility feature that provides an on-screen menu of customizable touch-based shortcuts, allowing users to perform gestures and actions that might otherwise require physical buttons or complex multi-finger gestures. AssistiveTouch is particularly helpful for people with motor impairments who have difficulty with physical button presses, pinching, swiping, or other standard touch interactions. It can also serve users with situational impairments, such as when using a device one-handed.
