iOS 9 Tactile Accommodations, or Tactile Accommodations, is a new feature implemented by the Apple company especially for iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch owners, allowing us to control the sensitivity of the touch screen. More precisely, the Tactile Adaptations function from iOS 9 it gives us the opportunity to choose how the screen perceives the touches made by us, so we can set various periods of time that pass from touching the screen until the moment it is actually recorded.
iOS 9 Tactile Accommodations, Tactile Accommodations, was not presented at WWDC 2015 by the Apple company, it being accessible in the menu Configurations > General > Accessibility, Settings > General > Accessibility of the operating system.
Apple recommends using these settings for tactile adaptation only in the situation where we have difficulties using the touch screen, adjusting the settings changing the way it will respond to touches.
Duration of Maintenance. The first option of iOS 9 Tactile Adaptations is called Hold Duration and it allows us to set the length of time for which we have to touch the screen before this touch is perceived.
You can see in the image at the beginning of the article that we are talking about fine settings that start from 0.10 seconds and go up to a few seconds, Apple offering us two buttons representing + and - for adjustment.
Fog Repetition. The second option of the iOS 9 Tactile Adaptations function is Repeat Delay, it gives us the opportunity to choose how long it takes before multiple touches are treated as a single touch.
And in the case of this option, we have the possibility to choose a period of time that must pass, the selection can be made in tenths of a second or whole seconds, the choice being up to the users.
After activating any of the two options of iOS 9 Tactile Adaptations, every time you make a press on the screen you will see two circles that have a slider that represents the passage of tenths of a second or seconds before the press is recorded.
Using this circle you can guide your touches to know when you have to lift your finger from the screen before your press is recorded, so you won't risk closing or changing something.
Finally, the iOS 9 Tactile Adaptation feature has an option called Press assistant, allowing any gesture to be treated as a single press.
