Hi guys

First of all I appologize because maybe "dialog box" is not the right term in english but as my iOS is in spanish, I'm trying to make a literal translation.

The thing is that I want to close this dialog box which appears in safari in a web page where I have to take a picture but this dialog gives instructions to do so, but I can't close it, it is a dialog wich appears like a popup inside safari and neither with voice over on and screen recognition I cant close.

Any suggestions?

thanks in advance.

Here are a few things to try.

1. Maybe the camera is active even though the dialog box is still open. If so, pretend the dialog box isn't there. Point your phone like a camera and take the photo.
2. Have you tried the 2-finger scrub gesture? It might make Safari jump back to the previous page, which is not what you want. But it might close the dialog. I don't know, but I would try it.
3. Did Safari launch the camera app? If so, can you use the task switcher to switch from Safari to the camera?

I'm sorry I don't have a solution for you. But hopefully some of these methods to try will work. By the way, your English is fine.
