iOS tip: If, while inside any app, you focus the status bar, Braille Screen Input will act as if you were on the homescreen, that is it will let you find and open any app. Great for multitasking. #Accessibility #Blind #iOS #iPhone

I don't see the utility of this other than for getting to another app, though. and you can as easily braille an h chord for home as an s for status. am I missing the obvious?

@cachondo Hmm true... Maybe if you're doing something in one app and quickly want to open another one, you would just tap the status bar and open BSI and look for the app straight away. Would have to try it more to find out. Also it's a bug most likely.

@cachondo You're not interrupting the flow you're in so you can change your mind without having to go to the app switcher, but yeah that's a rare usecase.

Okay, a bit confused about this particular post. Are you talking about with a Braille display, and using the find command there or ...?

@tinygirl I mean the Braille Screen Input. When in an app try to touch the status bar then activate BSI. You will see that as you type, your apps will be filtered down as if you were on the homescreen.
