How to emulate swipe on iPhone using Back Tap accessibility feature?

I need your help. I want to setup the feature with the swipe on my iPhone. Is it possible to put some command by the double tap which can emulate the swipe on my screen. I use my phone with right hand and always hard to do the apple way swipe ( I thought they will change it with the new firmware, but unfortunately not ). I try to talk with AI but they are glitching about this question. Please help me - if you have any tutorials or any links - please share with me. I tried to do some Shortcuts automation but it's hard to me. my goal - to avoid the real swipe and change it for use the Back Tap accessibility feature. Please let me know if I have any chances to do this or do something similar to resolve it.

Lots of swipes. Just the back-swipe? Or also swipe up? Swipe right or left? Swipe down from top or from top right?


Which iPhone? The iPhone 15 Pro Max from the footer?


If you’re trying to one-hand with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, Reachability can potentially help. The swipe can also be requested using the areas to the right and left of the search button just above the dock (at least on iOS 18, have yet,to upgrade to 26). That’ll also switch the search button into some dots to show where you are in the configured home pages, too.


And there is also eye tracking.

What kind of swiping are you talking about? Do you mean swiping from one screen to another? Do you mean swiping up to access fast app switching?
