New feature within the settings app

When the settings or files app is open and the user is way deep within the app, there is an easier way to back out now with 14. If I am in VoiceOver settings, and i want to get back out into the main settings category list, I double tap and hold on the back button. After you hear the three little beeps in succession, it brings up a context menu. This menu allows the user to double tap on or go back to any of the options. So again in VoiceOver settings, you double tap and hold on the back button, and the options are: VoiceOver, Accessibility and settings. I can double tap on the settings option and I am placed right in the main list of settings categories. I could have also double tapped on Accessibility and would have landed in that group of settings. This is just a great little feature that lets you get back to the main group without double tapping or scrubbing that buck button for hours. Note: for Braille users, the double tap and hold command is dots 3678-chord.

Hope this has been somewhat beneficial to you today. Have a great day!
