Enable VoiceOver in Settings → Accessibility → VoiceOver. Practice the changed touch controls before testing a page; tapping an element selects it rather than activating it.
| Test action | Gesture |
|---|
| Inspect an element | Touch it, or move a finger across the screen |
| Advance or go back through elements | Swipe right or left with one finger |
| Activate the selected element | Double-tap with one finger |
| Change the rotor category | Rotate two fingers on the screen |
| Move through the chosen rotor category | Swipe down or up with one finger |
In Safari, use the rotor’s headings, links, and form-control categories to check structural navigation. Verify accessible labels, reading order, form errors, modal focus entry/return, and dynamic announcements using the common scenarios in the main skill. Test touch exploration as well as sequential swipes; desktop keyboard behavior alone does not establish iOS coverage.
