I just wrote a tip for the book about how difficult I found it getting the new BSI activation gesture to work. TURNS OUT. My BSI Activation Gesture setting was toggled off. On my new phone? Anyone else see Off as a default? Also, if you can’t get the gesture to work, go find that toggle in BSI settings. #a11y #ios #voiceover

Never seen this by default off. I don't think the gesture is described well by Apple. The language sounds too confusing, at least to me. I like how someone described it in their podcast: "simply place your fingers as if you were about to type the letter C. Now, type it twice". Works for me! :)

@vick21 I read that somewhere, too. I agree. Makes much more sense than the way Apple describes.
