This article will guide you through the process of activating the Switch Control and creating your own custom switches on your iPhone.
Enable Switch Control
To set the feature: Go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility > Switch Control.
Before you toggle the option to ON, you must define the switches.
Add a New Switch to Switch Control in iPhone
You can use any of the sources as a switch:
External: Choose a Bluetooth switch. Screen: Tap the screen to use a switch. Camera: Move your head to use the FaceTime camera as a switch. You can use the camera as two switches: when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move your head to the right.
Setting up Camera Switch
Using traditional gestures is a lot easier and more accurate than using head gestures, but nevertheless, the feature is still something that you may still want to try out. It is a good accessibility feature for those users who find it difficult to use their hands to control an iPhone. The setup process is somewhat complicated but with some practice you will be able to control iPhone or iPad efficiently using head movements. The switches may not always work the way you want it. Just follow the steps mentioned above again to define the switches till you get it right. As mentioned earlier, it needs a bit of practice to make the gestures perfect.
