A quick Tour of Notable New and Enhanced Accessibility Features in iOS 16

I went to Accessibility settings on both the iPhone and the watch and couldn't find it. I tried on an iPhone SE-3, iPhone 12, Apple watch series 4 and 5. On a different note, I like the new SIRI commands, especially the ability to restart the phone. BTW, you can also say turn off the phone if you want to power it off completely.

thx for the podcast, I now know how to enable the bypass captcha thing. I hope that this solution will work everywhere.

Request if possible to decrease the speed of the voice in your phone for the podcast. Have issues with hearing and when is to fast can not understand. Thanks.

Thanks. I failed to mention that all of the devices are on beta, so the watches are on Watch OS 9.

@Julian, thanks for the tip that we can also tell Siri to shutdown rather than doing a restart. To answer your question about using the Apple Watch Mirroring. Unfortunately, you will need an Apple Watch Series 6 and newer to take advantage of this new feature.

@Holger Fiallo, thanks for the advice of slowing down my speech rate for future podcasts. What speed rate do you typically use for yourself? That will give me a better idea of where I might slow down the rate to.

Thanks,

Although not related to accessibility it sounds like the tone for engaging Siri has changed as well. It kind of sounds similar to Alexas if one has the option to have a sound play is on.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, vis-a-vis the Apple Watch mirroring feature. As far as a suggestion for speech rate during podcasts, I tend to slow mine down to around 50-60% when giving demos, so that most can understand what the screen reader is saying.

Thanks again for all of your work getting us updated with iOS 16 and its new features and how-tos. Stay well.
