How many gestures did you already know?? Which ones did I miss?

Hi Stephen, I am a UK viewer of this video. I stumbled across your site accidentaly, and as an iPhone user from the beginning, I am amazed at what can be done with gestures. Your videos have opened my eyes to what can be done, so keep up the good work.

There is a gesture that allows you to move between Safari tabs on an iPad. Something like an incomplete pinch with simultaneous swiping to the left or right. And you can move between apps not by using four or five fingers, but by swiping along the bottom edge of the screen with one finger. I'm sure you know that. And on an Apple Watch you can quickly and easily move up by tapping on the top edge of the screen, just like on an iPhone/iPad.

Multitasking on an iPad is also invoked by swiping up with 4 or 5 fingers. On the iPad keyboard, you can instantly move the cursor if you start swiping anywhere on it with two fingers. And if you hold your fingers, then also select the text.

For the iPad swiping from left or right corner, swiping from the right corner on mine does bring up the quick note but swiping from the left corner does not bring up the screenshots, it swipes between apps in the background. But the option is there in the settings menu.
(I don’t need or typically use the screenshot option on my iPad because I do all my screenshotting on my iPhone but I just find it strange that option is not working.)

Please tell me Why the Apple Watch ultra . I have a 6 . Looking to up grade don’t like the 799 price tag.

Two more gestures available in accessibility is the back taps. This is where are you? Use two fingers or three fingers to tap on the back of your phone and it will bring up different programs the coolest part about these as you can set what you want them to do it as a large list of options as a blind user, I use these all the time and have them set up for enhanced Accessibility, but there are a lot of features that every day users can appreciate with them Back taps
