Can I customize Assistive Touch submenus?

There are 2 choices for top level menu in Assistive Touch that I would like to customize but cannot figure out how and I’ll be ****** if I can find anything online about it either.

  1. “Device”. This option opens a submenu containing 6 additional menu choices. Can these be customized or not??? One of the 6 is the other submenu about which I am inquiring.
  2. ”More”. This appears as 1of 6 menu options when “device” is tapped. Upon opening “more”, there are 9 menu options offered. Can these be customized???

Thanks, Alancito. Yeah I got the same answers from Apple last night. Kinda silly that they cannot be customized. Perhaps this will be available in the future.


Yes, sorry auto-correct put a space in AssistiveTouch I guess. Thanks for your time and help!

If you're using third-party search engines, you'll get better results using Apple's terminology in the search bar, i.e. AssistiveTouch rather than Assistive Touch. But it's even better to search via Apple's Knowledge Base – which comes up with this from the iPhone User Guide:

No.

No.


Some tips related to AssistiveTouch...

• Its top level menu can be customized to run a shortcut. I've set mine up to turn off AssistiveTouch via a custom shortcut I created.

• Back Tap can also be configured to run a shortcut. I've set double Back Tap to toggle AssistiveTouch on & off via a custom shortcut I created.
