how to Tap + Drag using Head Tracker?

as the title says, how can one tap + drag using Head Tracker (or other face/voice activated Accessibility features?). Asking for someone who is quadriplegic.


They are currently tapping via Raise Eyebrows, but we don't see any configuration options for dragging. The Voice Control swipe/scroll commands won't work as it needs to originate from a specific point on the screen (i.e. a video progress bar).

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hello Again,


I should have mentioned this can also be done using the "Direct Touch" option that is one of the actions you can set for a gesture in the head tracking settings. You can set a gesture to enable Direct touch. When you use the gesture you can then click and drag.


Sorry no video on this option, but I have tried it and probably prefer this over using the assistive touch menu.


Let us know how you get on trying these and which one works for you.
