Siri is one of the options in AssistiveTouch. If you turn that on in Accessibility, the dot stays on the screen. Touch once to open, then Siri is a choice to touch to open. Hope that helps.

Hi all,

 

I have a PALS who is still using his iphone regularly but due to extremity weakness is struggling to access his phone. He has the accessibility home button on his display screen which has helped a lot to avoid having to exert pressure, but his main question was is a way to make “siri” switch accessible? Or accessible ANY other way than by holding down hold button? His voice is strong so he is great at using voice commands. Thank you in advance!
