other options to add to Assistive Touch?

Can one to the options be SETTINGS or some other useful options. Most of the options of are little interest to me but I like screen shot or Siri or Camera...the others I would rarely if ever use?

Hello Kezya,


Create new gestures

You can record custom taps and swipes using the touchscreen and save them to the AssistiveTouch menu.

To create a new gesture:

  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch.
  2. Tap AssistiveTouch, then tap Create New Gesture.
  3. Recording starts automatically when you touch the screen, so you can tap or swipe whenever you're ready.
  4. When you're finished, tap Stop.

To review your recorded gesture, press Play. If you want to re-record your gesture, tap Record. Press Save to name your gesture when you're ready.

If you're unable to perform a multi-finger gesture by using multiple fingers at the same time, you can record individual movements, and they group together. For example, draw two horizontal dots on the top half of the screen, and a half circle on the bottom of the screen, then press Stop. When you press play, all dots and lines play at once.
