How to Make Shortcut for Touch Accommodation Setting?

I am working with someone who uses touch accommodations to access her screen. She accidentally turns it off and is unable to navigate through the settings to turn it back on. I want to create a shortcut on the home screen that can turn Touch Accommodations on, similar to the Toggle AssistiveTouch one that exists. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Am no expert in this area, yet your request surely deserves some response:

Wondering which device the person who uses touch accommodation uses, and which iOS, or iPadOS, etc. version is installed on her device.


Eg ... for iOS 17 (or you can choose an earlier iOS version at the top of the three linked items below):

Seems it’s easy to create a new, customised shortcut using the Shortcuts app for iPhone or iPad:

Step 1: Create a new shortcut in your shortcuts collection.

Step 2: Add actions in the shortcut editor.

Step 3: Run your new shortcut to test it.

For iPad OS 17 (or choose an earlier version at the top of the article"

Re: "She accidentally turns it off"


If you need to adjust settings for taps, swipes, and multiple touches

Go to Settings> Accessibility > Touch > Touch Accommodations,

then turn on Touch Accommodations.
