VoiceOver tip that changes everything on iPhone: learn the rotor. Put two fingers on the screen and twist like you're turning a dial. Set it to Headings, then swipe up or down with one finger to jump heading to heading. No more swiping through an entire page to find what you want.
@payown a very good tip.

@Rich good point i use grouped navigation but you can change it to anything not being used !!
@payown Even better, change the two-finger left and right swipe gestures under VoiceOver to go between headings. They're already assigned, but I think they're for group navigation.
@payown I take that a step further and have defined a two finger swipe right as next heading and a two finger swipe left as previous heading. Since I use heading navigation a lot, these gestures ensure that I can navigate by headings immediately, whenever I need to.
@DavidGoldfield @payown I've got those two finger swipe gestures set to headings as well along with a four finger swipe up for app switcher and four finger swipe down for home… Makes things so much easier!☺️
@theblindjoe @DavidGoldfield I currently use those finger jestures to both interact and stop interacting with groups on IOS with voiceover.
@payown I changed the two finger swipe right to go back to my home screen, and the two fingers swipe left to go to the app switcher. Sure makes it easier. This is especially true for my new VoiceOver students who have to get the hang of the drag up from the bottom with just the right pressure for just the right length of time, etc, etc.
