Apple Beta Releases

Hey guys.
I hope everything is going well.
I'm quite enjoying the rc for ios 18, but I was wondering if it's possible to adjust various options related to the positioning of the keyboard when starting it up?
For instance, I'd like it to appear with the charging port to the right instead of the other way around.

That's the way around it appears on mine, so my left thumb is hovering over the volume buttons.

Actually, what you might need to do is turn off the BSI orientation lock, three fingers down, get it into the orientation you like and do the same action, which will lock it into place.

Thanks, that appears to have fixed it.
Now, how can I have my favourite braille tables on the roter like in previous versions of ios? That appears to have changed.

On the iPhone, go to Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Braille, and Braille Screen Input. The last option is for you to add a Braille table. After that, if you have the Braille tables option added to the VoiceOver rotor, you can switch between Braille tables as usual.

That was the first place I checked, and added braille screen input to the roter but it doesn't appear there for some reason.

Also, if it is in the actual rotor, you might laso have to switch that aspect of the rotor on, settings > voiceover > Rotor > Rotor ... and then you select what you want displayed in the rotor.
