Using Twiddler with iOS

Twiddler is fully compatible with iOS devices such as iPhone and iPad. Here’s a step-by-step guide to connect your Twiddler to your iOS device:

Step 1: Turn on AssistiveTouch on your iOS

To do this, head over to your iPhone Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch tgimages.s3.amazonaws.com_twiddler_wiki_t4ios_step1a.jpg Click the AssistiveTouch and switch it ON. tgimages.s3.amazonaws.com_twiddler_wiki_t4ios_step1b.jpg

Turning the AssistiveTouch ON is necessary to allow iOS to use an additional external device - in this case, your Twiddler.

Step 2: Connect your Twiddler

Once the AssistiveTouch is enabled, scroll down and find Devices > Bluetooth Devices. Using your Twiddler, press and hold the Touchpad until you see a flashing Blue LED. This means that your Twiddler is pairing with your iOS device. Devices>Bluetooth Devices

Step 3: Customize Twiddler buttons

For better accessibility and functionality, you can change how some of the Twiddler’s buttons work on your device.

Under Devices, select Twiddler and it should direct you to Customize Additional Buttons.

Ideally, you would want to customize the Twiddler’s “mouse buttons” (the first 3 top buttons on the keypad).

Press the Twiddler key that you want to assign a function to and select a function on your iOS.

Selecting system function

For example, you can set the Right button (F0R) as Home. Pressing this button on the Twiddler will send you to your iPhone’s Home screen.

Additional tips:

Don’t like how the cursor looks on your device? You can actually customize it! Go to Accessibility > find Pointer Control. Here you can customize your pointer to your liking such as changing the colours, size, and border thickness.
