Ok since I think 26.2 the oddest thing occasionally happens. I do not use BSI on my phone. Nor is it in the rotor options nor selected in Rotor items. However, on very rare occasions and I don't know how it happens so can't try to recreate it starts BSI starts up on the phone. I have missed a couple of calls as the two finger double tap seems to do something else in BSI and when this happened the first couple of times I didn't have a clue how to even escape BSI. Without the rotor I wouldn't even know if there is agesture to start the thing. No idea how to report this to Apple as I have no idea how to recreate it. Wondering if I'm the only one seeing this. I don't think it is app specific but the magic tap may and only may have something to do with it. Very frustrating.

The bug is a feature
If you do a magic tap, but spread your fingers out to the edge of the screen, top and bottom, you activate braille screen input, this has been a thing since iOS 18, I think.
Try this
Hi Lee,
Try going to Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Commands, Touch Gestures. Navigate by headings until you find the following:
'TAP: THREE FINGERS heading'
From there, swipe left three times, you should land on:
'Two finger single tap the far edges button'
If anything is assigned to that button, double tap on it, and navigate all the way to the bottom of the screen until you find the control labeled 'Reset to Default'.
Double tap the back button in the upper left corner of the screen, and repeat the steps above for resetting the two finger double tap on edges and three finger double tap on edges so that they are all empty. This should ensure that BSI has no gestures assigned to it.
One last thing to double check, back on your touch gesture screen, find the 'TAP: TWO FINGERS heading' and make sure that Magic Tap (two finger double tap) is assigned properly.
Make sure you double tap on the 'Back' button when you have finished everything to save settings.
I realize this is a lot of steps, and you may not even have to do this, but it would ensure that BSI does not have any gestures assigned to it. It would also ensure that magic tap is properly assigned.
Best of luck~
think it can be easier
i think if you just go Settings, accessibility and voiceover settings, in the Braille section turn off, under Braille Screen Input the activate gestures item from "on" to "off" that way magic tap i believe still reacts as it should, and then Braille Screen Input will have no way to kickstart itself unless, via the rotor if of course it's activated. the double tap with 2 fingers at the top and bottom is part of IOS 26.
Thanks
Thanks guys done the above. As this is so random cannot say if it works but hopefully it has. Cheers again.
