Family Sharing
With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share their iTunes Store, App Store,
and iBooks Store purchases, a family calendar, and family photos, all without sharing
accounts.
One adult in your household—the family organizer—invites family members to join the
family group and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
purchases those family members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up,
family members get immediate access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books,
and eligible apps. (For more information about a family subscription to Apple Music, see
Access music.) In addition, family members can easily share photos in a shared family
album, add events to a family calendar, share their location with other family members,
and even help locate another family member’s missing device.
Children under 13 can participate in Family Sharing, too. As a parent or legal guardian,
the family organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own
Apple ID, and create it on the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it’s added to
the family group automatically.
tf
Family Sharing requires you to sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked
to confirm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. Family
Sharing is available on devices with iOS 8 or later, Mac computers with OS X Yosemite or

items remain with the person who chose to purchase them, even if they were paid for by
the family organizer.
Turn on Ask to Buy. The family organizer can require young family members to request
approval for purchases or free downloads. Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, then tap the

Make and receive calls on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
Continuity lets you make calls on your other devices by relaying calls through your
iPhone, which must be turned on and connected to a cellular network. To make calls this
way, you need iOS 8 or later, and OS X Yosemite or later. All devices must be signed in to
FaceTime and iCloud using the same Apple ID as your iPhone, and connected to the
same Wi-Fi network.
tf
Wi-Fi Calling lets you make and receive phone calls on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, as
long as your iPhone and other devices are signed in to iCloud and FaceTime with the
same Apple ID. With iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite, your iPhone needs to be on the same WiFi network as your other devices (available with some carriers, and cellular charges may
apply). With iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan, your iPhone may not need to be on the same WiFi network or even turned on (available with some carriers, and cellular charges may
apply). You must set up your iPhone (iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s and later) first, and your
other devices after. If you log out of FaceTime or iCloud on iPhone, Wi-Fi Calling is
disabled.
Note: When making calls on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and later, if the Wi-Fi connection is
lost, calls switch automatically to your carrier’s cellular network using VoLTE (Voice over
LTE), if available and turned on. See Cellular settings. (VoLTE calls also switch to Wi-Fi
when a Wi-Fi connection becomes available.) On earlier iPhone models, and on iPad,
iPod touch, or a Mac, a call is dropped if you lose the Wi-Fi connection. Contact your
carrier for feature availability.
Turn on Wi-Fi Calling on your iPhone. Go to Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling, then turn
Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone on.
Note: If you see Add Wi-Fi Calling For Other Devices, tap it to allow calls from other
devices that aren’t on the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone. Otherwise, you can still
use your other devices to make phone calls, but your iPhone must be turned on and on
the same network as your other devices.
72
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
Turn on Wi-Fi Calling for another iOS device. On the device, go to
Settings > FaceTime, then turn on FaceTime. If you’re asked, turn Wi-Fi calling on.
Turn on Wi-Fi Calling on your Mac. On your Mac, open FaceTime, then choose
FaceTime > Preferences > Settings. Select “Calls from iPhone.” If an Upgrade to Wi-Fi
Calling button appears, click it, then follow the instructions.

Note: Emergency calls on your iPhone are routed through cellular service when available.
In the event that cellular service is not available, and you have enabled Wi-Fi Calling,
emergency calls may be made over Wi-Fi, and your device’s location information may be
used for emergency calls to aid response efforts, regardless of whether you enable
Location Services.

Emergency Call (to dial 911 in the U.S., for example).
Important: You can use iPhone to make an emergency call in many locations, provided
that cellular service is available, but you should not rely on it for emergencies. Some
cellular networks may not accept an emergency call from iPhone if iPhone is not
activated, if iPhone is not compatible with or configured to operate on a particular
cellular network, or (when applicable) if iPhone does not have a SIM card or if the SIM
card is PIN-locked.
tf
In the U.S., location information (if available) is provided to emergency service providers
when you dial 911. Please review your carrier’s emergency calling information to
understand the limits of emergency calling over Wi-Fi.
With CDMA, when an emergency call ends, iPhone enters emergency call mode for a few
minutes to allow a call back from emergency services. During this time, data
transmission and text messages are blocked.

Tap the Back button.
Press the Sleep/Wake button or the Home button.
Use the keypad to dial a non-emergency number.

Equalization (EQ): EQ settings generally apply only to music played from the Music
app, but they affect all sound output, including the headset jack, AirPlay, and
Bluetooth audio connections.
Note: The Late Night setting compresses the dynamic range of the audio output,
reducing the volume of loud passages and increasing the volume of quiet passages.
You might want to use this setting when listening to music on an airplane or in some
other noisy environment. (The Late Night setting applies to all audio output—video as
well as music.)
Volume Limit: In some European Union (EU) countries, iPhone may indicate when
you’re setting the volume above the EU-recommended level for hearing safety. To
increase the volume beyond this level, you may need to briefly release the volume
control. To limit the maximum headset volume to this level, go to Settings > Music >
Volume Limit, then turn on EU Volume Limit.
Note: To prevent changes to the volume limit, go to Settings > General >

Learn VoiceOver gestures
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have different effects, and
additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items.
VoiceOver gestures include two-, three-, and four-finger taps and swipes. For best
results using multi-finger gestures, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with some
space between them.
You can use different techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can
perform a two-finger tap using two fingers on one hand, or one finger on each hand. You
can even use your thumbs. Some people use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an
tf
item and double-tapping, touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen
with another finger. If your iPhone supports it, you can use 3D Touch to perform
gestures.
Try different techniques to discover which works best for you. If a gesture doesn’t work,
try a quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try
brushing the screen quickly with your finger or fingers.
In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver
gestures without affecting iPhone or its settings.
Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver,
then tap VoiceOver Practice. When you finish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the
VoiceOver Practice button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
Here are some key VoiceOver gestures:
Navigate and read
Tap: Select and speak the item.
Swipe right or left: Select the next or previous item.
Swipe up or down: Depends on the rotor setting. See Use the VoiceOver rotor.
Two-finger swipe up: Read all from the top of the screen.
Two-finger swipe down: Read all from the current position.
Two-finger tap: Stop or resume speaking.
209
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
Two-finger scrub: Move two fingers back and forth three times quickly (making a “z”)
to dismiss an alert or go back to the previous screen.
Three-finger swipe up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
Three-finger swipe right or left: Go to the next or previous page (on the Home
screen, for example).
Three-finger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a list or
whether text is selected.
Four-finger tap at top of screen: Select the first item on the page.
Four-finger tap at bottom of screen: Select the last item on the page.
Activate
Double-tap: Activate the selected item.
tf
Triple-tap: Double-tap an item.
Split-tap: As an alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping to activate it,
touch an item with one finger, then tap the screen with another.
Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture. The
double-tap and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the next gesture as standard.
For example, you can double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your finger, drag
your finger to slide a switch.
Two-finger double-tap: Answer or end a call. Play or pause in Music, Videos, Voice
Memos, or Photos. Take a photo in Camera. Start or pause recording in Camera or
Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch.
Two-finger double-tap and hold: Change an item’s label to make it easier to find.
Two-finger triple-tap: Open the Item Chooser.
Three-finger double-tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
Three-finger triple-tap: Turn the screen curtain on or off.
Use the VoiceOver rotor
Use the rotor to choose what happens when you swipe up or down with VoiceOver
turned on, or to select special input methods such as Braille Screen Input or Handwriting.
Operate the rotor. Rotate two fingers on the screen around a point between them.
210
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
Choose your rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >
Rotor, then select the options you want to include in the rotor.
The available rotor options and their effects depend on what you’re doing. For example, if
you’re reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken
word-by-word or character-by-character when you swipe up or down. If you’re browsing
a webpage, you can set the rotor to speak all the text (either word-by-word or characterby-character), or to jump from one item to another of a certain type, such as headers or
links.
When you use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to control VoiceOver, the rotor lets you adjust
tf
settings such as volume, speech rate, use of pitch or phonetics, typing echo, and reading
of punctuation. See Use VoiceOver with an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Use the onscreen keyboard
When you activate an editable text field, the onscreen keyboard appears (unless you
have an Apple Wireless Keyboard attached).
Activate a text field. Select the text field, then double-tap. The insertion point and the
onscreen keyboard appear.
Choose a typing style. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing
Style. Or, set the rotor to Typing Mode, then swipe up or down.
Enter text. Type characters using the onscreen keyboard:
Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by swiping left or right, then doubletap to enter the character. Or move your finger around the keyboard to select a key
and, while continuing to touch the key with one finger, tap the screen with another
finger. VoiceOver speaks the key when it’s selected, and again when the character is
entered.
Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter
the character. If you touch the wrong key, slide your finger to the key you want.
VoiceOver speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesn’t enter a
character until you lift your finger.
Direct Touch typing: VoiceOver is disabled for the keyboard only, so you can type just
as you do when VoiceOver is off.
211
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
Move the insertion point. Swipe up or down to move the insertion point forward or
backward in the text. Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the insertion
point by character, by word, or by line. To jump to the beginning or end, double-tap the
text.
VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character,
word, or line that the insertion point moves across. When moving forward by words, the
insertion point is placed at the end of each word, before the space or punctuation that
follows. When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the preceding
word, before the space or punctuation that follows it.
Move the insertion point past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence. Use
the rotor to switch back to character mode.
When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move across
it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the next line
(except when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point is moved to
the end of the line just spoken). When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at
the beginning of the line that’s spoken.
tf
Change typing feedback. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing

each character as it’s deleted. If Use Pitch Change is turned on, VoiceOver speaks
deleted characters in a lower pitch.
Select text. Set the rotor to Edit, swipe up or down to choose Select or Select All, then
double-tap. If you choose Select, the word closest to the insertion point is selected when
you double-tap. To increase or decrease the selection, do a two-finger scrub to dismiss
the pop-up menu, then pinch.

Hearing aids
Made for iPhone hearing aids
If you have Made for iPhone hearing aids, you can use iPhone to adjust their settings,
stream audio, or use iPhone as a remote mic.
Pair with iPhone. If your hearing aids aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility >
Hearing Aids, you need to pair them with iPhone. To start, open the battery door on each
hearing aid. Next, on iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then make sure Bluetooth is
turned on. Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. Close the
battery doors on your hearing aids and wait until their name appears in the list of devices
(this could take a minute). When the name appears, tap it and respond to the pairing
request.
When pairing is finished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark
appears next to the hearing aids in the Devices list. Pairing can take as long as 60
seconds—don’t try to stream audio or otherwise use the hearing aids until pairing is
finished.
You should only need to pair once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that,
each time you turn your hearing aids back on, they reconnect to iPhone.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Hearing Aids, or choose Hearing Aids from the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility
Shortcut. Hearing aid settings appear only after you pair your hearing aids with iPhone.

Check hearing aid battery status.
Adjust ambient microphone volume and equalization.
Choose which hearing aids (left, right, or both) receive streaming audio.
Control Live Listen.
Choose whether call audio and media audio are routed to the hearing aid.
Choose to play ringtones through the hearing aid. (Not all hearing aids support this
feature.)
Stream audio to your hearing aids. Stream audio from Phone, Siri, Music, Videos, and
more by choosing your hearing aids from the AirPlay menu
tf
Use iPhone as a remote microphone. You can use Live Listen to stream sound from the
microphone in iPhone to your hearing aids. This can help you hear better in some
situations by positioning iPhone nearer the sound source. Triple-click the Home button,
choose Hearing Aids, then tap Start Live Listen.
Use your hearing aids with more than one iOS device. If you pair your hearing aids
with more than one iOS device (both iPhone and iPad, for example), the connection for
your hearing aids automatically switches from one to the other when you do something
that generates audio on the other device, or when you receive a phone call on iPhone.
Changes you make to hearing aid settings on one device are automatically sent to your
other iOS devices. To take advantage of this, all of the devices must be on the same WiFi network and signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID.
Hearing Aid Mode
iPhone has a Hearing Aid Mode that, when activated, may reduce interference with some
hearing aid models. Hearing Aid Mode reduces the transmission power of the cellular
radio in the GSM 1900 MHz band and may result in decreased 2G cellular coverage.
Turn on Hearing Aid Mode. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids.
Hearing aid compatibility
The FCC has adopted hearing aid compatibility (HAC) rules for digital wireless phones.
These rules require certain phones to be tested and rated under the American National
Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2007 or C63.19-2011 hearing aid compatibility
standards.
The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
226
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
An “M” rating for reduced radio frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling
with hearing aids that are not operating in telecoil mode
A “T” rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode
These ratings are given on a scale from one to four, where four is the most compatible. A
phone is considered hearing aid compatible under FCC rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for
acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling.
For iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, see www.apple.com/support/hac.
Hearing aid compatibility ratings don’t guarantee that a particular hearing aid works with
a particular phone. Some hearing aids may work well with phones that don’t meet
particular ratings. To ensure interoperability between a hearing aid and a phone, try using
them together before purchase.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in
this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
tf
the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your
hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or Apple for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have
questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone
retailer.

Switch Control
Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control iPhone using a single switch or multiple switches. Use any
of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, pressing, dragging,
typing, and even free-hand drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an
item or location on the screen, and then use the same (or different) switch to choose an
action to perform on that item or location. Three basic methods are:
Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you
select one.
Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location.
tf
Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires
multiple switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a
menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, press, drag, or
pinch, for example).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and
customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning
screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.
You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific
needs and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use any of these as a switch:
An external adaptive switch: Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth
switches.
The iPhone screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch. (Or, on iPhone 6s and
iPhone 6s Plus, press the screen.)
The iPhone FaceTime camera: Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the
camera as two switches: one switch triggers when you move your head to the left,
and the other when you move your head to the right.
Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Switches. If you use only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
231
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
If you’re adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPhone before it will appear
in the list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it
connects using Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPhone—turn on the switch, go to
Settings > Bluetooth, tap the switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more
information, see Bluetooth devices.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then
turn on Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button. See Accessibility Shortcut.
Turn off Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select and tap Settings >
General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn off Switch Control. Or triple-click the
Home button.
Basic techniques
Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the
same.
tf
Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch you’ve set up as your
Select Item switch. If you are using a single switch, it is your Select Item switch by
default.
Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu
that appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on how you
configure tap behavior. (To choose an option, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Switch Control > Tap Behavior.)
With Default on: The control menu usually includes only the Tap button and the More
button (two dots at the bottom). If you’re in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll
button also appears. To tap the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button
when Tap is highlighted. To see additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom
of the menu. If you have multiple switches, you can set one up specifically for
tapping.
With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when
the Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you haven’t changed it). To see the
control menu, trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires.
The control menu skips the Tap button and goes right to the full set of action
buttons.
With Always Tap on: Tap to select the highlighted item rather than display the control
menu. Wait until the end of the scan cycle, then tap a button to display the control
menu.
Note: Always Tap applies only when you choose item scanning. When point scanning,
the default behavior applies.
232
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
Work with recipes. A recipe lets you temporarily assign a special action to a switch. For
example, you can choose a recipe to turn pages in iBooks or control a game. To use a
recipe, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Recipes, then choose
a recipe.
Dismiss the control menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. Or choose Escape from the
control menu. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify at
Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops.
Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the control menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
With Auto Tap off: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the
control menu. Or, for more scrolling options, choose More, then choose Scroll.
tf
With Auto Tap on: Choose Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available,
you might have to choose More first.
Tap the Home button. Choose Home from the control menu.
Perform other hardware actions. Select any item, then choose Device from the menu
that appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:
Double-click the Home button for multitasking
Open Notification Center or Control Center

Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until
you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights
them in groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the
group. When you select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears.
Item scanning is the default when you first turn on Switch Control.
You can choose from three scanning styles—auto scanning, manual scanning, and
single-switch step scanning. Auto scanning automatically highlights items, one after the
other. With manual scanning, you use one switch to highlight an item and another to
activate it. Single-switch step scanning uses a switch to move the highlight from item to
item. If you take no action after a period of time, the highlighted item activates.
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the
item you want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your
Select Item switch. Work your way down in the hierarchy of items until you select the
individual item you want to control.
tf
Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around
the group or item appears.
Dismiss the control menu without performing an action. Trigger your Select Item
switch when the item itself is highlighted. Or choose Escape from the control menu.
Hear the names of items as they are highlighted. Go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn on Speech. Or choose Settings from the control
menu, then choose Speech On.
Slow down or speed up the scanning. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Auto Scanning Time.
Point scanning
Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning
crosshairs.
Switch to point scanning. Use item scanning to choose Point Mode from the control
menu. The vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu.
Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item you want is within the
broad, horizontal scanning band, then trigger again when the fine scanning line is on the
item. Repeat for vertical scanning.
Refine your selection point. Choose Refine Selection from the control menu.
Return to item scanning. Choose Item Mode from the control menu.

Perform a swipe or drag that uses 2, 3, 4, or 5 fingers. Tap the menu button, tap
Device > More > Gestures, then tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When
the corresponding circles appear on the screen, swipe or drag in the direction required
by the gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
Perform a pinch gesture. Tap the menu button, tap Custom, then tap Pinch. When the
pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag
them in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu
(for example, touch and hold or two-finger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Custom,
then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture.
Example 1: To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that asks you to
touch to create a gesture, rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen around a point
between them. (You can do this with a single finger or stylus—just create each arc
separately, one after the other.) If it doesn’t turn out quite right, tap Cancel, then try
again. When it looks right, tap Save, then give the gesture a name—maybe “Rotate 90.”
Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap the AssistiveTouch menu
button, and choose Rotate 90 from Custom. When the blue circles representing the
starting finger positions appear, drag them to the point around which you want to rotate
the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with different degrees
of rotation.
tf
Example 2: Let’s create the touch-and-hold gesture that you use to start rearranging
icons on your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, hold down your
finger in one spot until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your finger.
Be careful not to move your finger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a
drag. Tap Save, then name the gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu
button, then choose your gesture from Custom. When the blue circle representing your
touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon and release.
If you record a sequence of taps or drags, they’re all played back at the same time. For
example, using one finger or a stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four
locations on the screen creates a simultaneous four-finger tap.
Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return
to the previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu.
Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen.
Adjust your accessory tracking speed. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.

iPhone in business
iPhone in the enterprise
With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, custom apps, and
Microsoft Exchange, iPhone is ready to go to work. For detailed information, go to
www.apple.com/iphone/business.
Mail, Contacts, and Calendar
To use your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization requires. If
you received your iPhone from your organization, the settings and apps you need might
already be installed. If it’s your own iPhone, your system administrator may provide you
with the settings for you to enter, or have you connect to a mobile device management
server that installs the settings and apps you should have.
tf
Organizational settings and accounts are typically in configuration profiles. You might be
asked to install a configuration profile that was sent to you in an email, or one that is
downloaded from a webpage. When you open the file, iPhone asks for your permission to
install the profile, and displays information about what it contains.
In most cases, when you install a configuration profile that sets up an account for you,
some settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock
and require you to set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you
access.
You can see your profiles in Settings > General > Profiles. If you delete a profile, all of the
settings and accounts associated with the profile are also removed, including any custom
apps your organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to delete a
profile, contact your system administrator.
Network access
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private
resources, such as your organization’s network. You may need to install a VPN app from
the App Store that configures your iPhone to access a particular network. Contact your
system administrator for information about apps and settings you need.

Apps
In addition to the built-in apps and the ones you get from the App Store, your
organization may want you to have certain other apps. They might provide you with a
pre-paid redemption code for the App Store. When you download an app using a
redemption code, you own it, even though your organization purchased it for you.
Your organization can also purchase App Store app licenses that are assigned to you for
a period of time, but that the organization retains. You’ll be invited to participate in your
organization’s program in order to access these apps. After you enroll with your Apple ID,
you’re asked to install these apps as they’re assigned to you. You can also find them in
your Purchased list in the App Store. An app you receive this way is removed if the
organization assigns it to someone else.
Your organization might also develop custom apps that aren’t in the App Store. You
install them from a webpage or, if your organization uses mobile device management,
you receive a notification asking you to install them over the air. These apps belong to
your organization, and they may be removed or stop working if you delete a configuration
profile or dissociate iPhone from the mobile device management server.

HomeKit
HomeKit basics
With HomeKit, you can control any “Works with Apple HomeKit” accessory that you have
in your home, such as lights, locks, thermostats, smart plugs, and more.
HomeKit allows you to create commands or scenes to control home settings. For
example, you can create a scene to turn off the lights, lock the doors, close the garage
door, and set the thermostat to the desired temperature, all with one command. HomeKit
also provides an easy, secure way to control HomeKit-enabled accessories using Siri.
HomeKit is organized around three types of locations: homes, rooms, and zones. Each
home contains rooms, such as “bedroom,” and you can group rooms into zones, such as
“upstairs.”
tf
Set up a home and users
Defining a home allows HomeKit-enabled apps and accessories from different
manufacturers to work together. It’s the first thing you should do when getting started
with HomeKit.
Define a home. Use the app that works with your HomeKit-enabled accessory to define
a home. The process varies, depending on the app and accessory, but generally you pair
the accessory with iPhone by entering the accessory’s HomeKit setup code in the
accessory’s app. If this is your first accessory, a home is created for you.
Add a second home. As described above, use a HomeKit-enabled app to define an
additional home.
Give others control. To let others control your accessories using their iOS devices, go to
Settings > Home, then tap Invite People. They need an iCloud account to join your home.
People you invite can control your accessories, but they can’t add new ones.
Control your accessories away from home. If you have an Apple TV (3rd generation
and later) with software version 7.0 or later, or a HomeKit accessory that supports
iCloud Remote Access, you can securely control your home when you’re away. Go to
Settings > Home, then turn on Allow Remote Access. Make sure you’re signed in with
the same iCloud account on both iPhone and Apple TV.
Define rooms, zones, and scenes. Use your HomeKit-enabled apps to assign
accessories to rooms, and rooms to zones. Many apps also allow you to define scenes.
Once these items are defined, you can control them with Siri, as described below.
250
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
Reset your home data. To delete all of your home data from iPhone and iCloud, go to
Settings > Privacy > HomeKit, then tap Reset HomeKit Configuration.
For more information about HomeKit-enabled accessories and other info, see
support.apple.com/HT204893.
Control HomeKit accessories using Siri
You can use Siri to control the HomeKit-enabled accessories you have configured. Here
are some of the things you might be able to say to Siri, depending on your accessories:
“Turn off the lights” or “Turn on the lights”
“Dim the lights” or “Set brightness to 55%”
“Turn on the coffee maker”
tf
“Set the temperature to 68 degrees”
If you set up rooms, zones, scenes, or homes, you can say things like:
“Turn down the kitchen lights”
“Turn on the printer in the office”
“Turn off the upstairs lights”
“Set my reading scene”
“Set the temperature in the Chicago house to 72 degrees”

Safety, handling, and support
Important safety information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric
shock, injury, or damage to iPhone or other property. Read all the safety information
below before using iPhone.
Handling Handle iPhone with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has
sensitive electronic components inside. iPhone can be damaged if dropped, burned,
punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t use a damaged iPhone,
such as one with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury. If you’re concerned about
scratching the surface of iPhone, consider using a case or cover.
tf
Repairing Don’t open iPhone and don’t attempt to repair iPhone yourself. Disassembling
iPhone may damage it or may cause injury to you. If iPhone is damaged, malfunctions, or
comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You
can find more information about getting service at
www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq.
Battery Don’t attempt to replace the iPhone battery yourself—you may damage the
battery, which could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in iPhone
should be replaced by Apple or an authorized service provider, and must be recycled or
disposed of separately from household waste. Don’t incinerate the battery. For
information about battery service and recycling, see www.apple.com/batteries/serviceand-recycling.
Distraction Using iPhone in some circumstances may distract you and might cause a
dangerous situation (for example, avoid using headphones while riding a bicycle and
avoid typing a text message while driving a car). Observe rules that prohibit or restrict
the use of mobile devices or headphones.
Navigation Maps depends on data services. These data services are subject to change
and may not be available in all areas, resulting in maps and location-based information
that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare the information provided in
Maps to your surroundings. Use common sense when navigating. Always observe current
road conditions and posted signs to resolve any discrepancies. Some Maps features
require Location Services.
Charging Charge iPhone with the included USB cable and power adapter, or with other
third-party “Made for iPhone” cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB
2.0 or later, or power adapters compliant with applicable country regulations and with
252
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
one or more of the following standards: EN 301489-34, IEC 62684, YD/T 1591-2009,
CNS 15285, ITU L.1000, or another applicable mobile phone power adapter
interoperability standard.
Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause fire,
electric shock, injury, or damage to iPhone or other property. When you use the Apple
USB Power Adapter to charge iPhone, make sure the USB cable is fully inserted into the
power adapter before you plug the adapter into a power outlet.
Lightning cable and connector Avoid prolonged skin contact with the connector when
the Lightning to USB Cable is plugged into a power source because it may cause
discomfort or injury. Sleeping or sitting on the Lightning connector should be avoided.
Prolonged heat exposure iPhone and its power adapter comply with applicable surface
temperature standards and limits. However, even within these limits, sustained contact
with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. Use common
sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with a device or its power adapter
when it’s operating or plugged into a power source for long periods of time. For example,
don’t sleep on a device or power adapter, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your
body, when it’s plugged into a power source. It’s important to keep iPhone and its power
adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Take special care if you have a
physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body.
tf
Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background
noise, as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem
quieter than they actually are. Turn on audio playback and check the volume before
inserting anything in your ear. For more information about hearing loss, see
www.apple.com/sound. For information about how to set a maximum volume limit, see
Music settings.
To avoid hearing damage, use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones,
speakerphones, or earpieces with iPhone. The headsets sold with iPhone 4s or later in
China (identifiable by dark insulating rings on the plug) are designed to comply with
Chinese standards and are only compatible with iPhone 4s and later, iPad 2 and later,
iPad Pro, iPad mini and later, and iPod touch 5th generation and later.
WARNING: To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for
long periods.
Radio frequency exposure iPhone uses radio signals to connect to wireless networks.
For information about radio frequency (RF) energy resulting from radio signals and steps
you can take to minimize exposure, go to Settings > General > About > Legal > RF
Exposure or visit www.apple.com/legal/rfexposure.
253
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the
use of electronic devices (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although
iPhone is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio
frequency emissions, such emissions from iPhone can negatively affect the operation of
other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn off iPhone or use Airplane
Mode to turn off the iPhone wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while
traveling in aircraft, or when asked to do so by authorities.
Medical device interference iPhone contains components and radios that emit
electromagnetic fields. iPhone also contains magnets and the included headphones also
have magnets in the earbuds. These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere
with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of
separation between your medical device and iPhone and the earbuds. Consult your
physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical
device. If you suspect iPhone is interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or any
other medical device, stop using iPhone.
tf
Not a medical device iPhone and the Health app are not designed or intended for use in
the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or
prevention of disease.
Medical conditions If you have any medical condition that you believe could be affected
by iPhone (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your
physician prior to using iPhone.
Explosive atmospheres Charging or using iPhone in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels of flammable
chemicals, vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may be
hazardous. Obey all signs and instructions.
Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing
games on iPhone, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders,
neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPhone and
consult a physician.
High-consequence activities This device is not intended for use where the failure of
the device could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
Choking hazard Some iPhone accessories may present a choking hazard to small
children. Keep these accessories away from small children.
Important handling information
Cleaning Clean iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause
stains—such as dirt, ink, makeup, or lotions. To clean:
254
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
Disconnect all cables and turn iPhone off (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button,
then slide the onscreen slider).
Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.
The front or back cover of iPhone may be made of glass with a fingerprint-resistant
oleophobic (oil repellant) coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage.
Cleaning products and abrasive materials will further diminish the coating, and may
scratch the glass.
Using connectors, ports, and buttons Never force a connector into a port or apply
excessive pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered
under the warranty. If the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they
probably don’t match. Check for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches
the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
tf
Lightning to USB Cable Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular use is
normal. Dirt, debris, and exposure to moisture may cause discoloration. If your Lightning
cable or connector become warm during use or iPhone won’t charge or sync, disconnect
it from your computer or power adapter and clean the Lightning connector with a soft,
dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning
connector.
Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The Lightning
to USB Cable, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if
repeatedly bent in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable.
Regularly inspect the cable and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage.
Should you find any such damage, discontinue use of the Lightning to USB Cable.
Operating temperature iPhone is designed to work in ambient temperatures between
32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C) and stored in temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20°
and 45° C). iPhone can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated
outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPhone to dramatic changes in
temperature or humidity. When you’re using iPhone or charging the battery, it is normal
for iPhone to get warm.
If the interior temperature of iPhone exceeds normal operating temperatures (for
example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may
experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature:
iPhone stops charging.
The screen dims.
255
iPhone User Guide APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
A temperature warning screen appears.
Some apps may close.
Important: You may not be able to use iPhone while the temperature warning screen is
displayed. If iPhone can’t regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode
until it cools. Move iPhone to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few
minutes before trying to use iPhone again.

LTE, 4G, and 3G service on GSM cellular networks support simultaneous voice and data
communications. For all other cellular connections, you can’t use Internet services while
you’re talking on the phone unless iPhone also has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Depending on your network connection, you may not be able to receive calls while
iPhone transfers data over the cellular network—when downloading a webpage, for
example.
GSM networks: On an EDGE or GPRS connection, incoming calls may go directly to
voicemail during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are
paused.
CDMA networks: On EV-DO connections, data transfers are paused when you answer
incoming calls. On 1xRTT connections, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail
tf
during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused.
Data transfer resumes when you end the call.
If Cellular Data is off, all data services use only Wi-Fi—including email, web browsing,
push notifications, and other services. If Cellular Data is on, carrier charges may apply.
For example, using certain features and services that transfer data, such as Siri and
Messages, could result in charges to your data plan.
Turn Cellular Data on or off. Go to Settings > Cellular, then tap Cellular Data. The
following options may also be available:
Turn Voice Roaming on or off (CDMA): Turn Voice Roaming off to avoid charges from
using other carrier’s networks. When your carrier’s network isn’t available, iPhone
won’t have cellular (data or voice) service.
Turn Data Roaming on or off: Data Roaming permits Internet access over a cellular
data network when you’re in an area not covered by your carrier’s network. When
you’re traveling, you can turn off Data Roaming to avoid roaming charges. See Phone
settings.
Enable or disable 4G/LTE (varies by carrier): Using 4G or LTE loads Internet data
faster in some cases, but may decrease battery performance. If you’re making a lot of
phone calls, you may want to turn 4G/LTE off to extend battery life. This option is not
available in all areas. On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and later, there are options for
turning off 4G/LTE, selecting Voice & Data (VoLTE), or Data Only.
Voice & Data (some carriers): Choose LTE to load data faster. (This also turns on
VoLTE.) Choose slower speeds to increase battery life.

Set up Personal Hotspot: Personal Hotspot shares the Internet connection on iPhone
with your computer and other iOS devices. See Personal Hotspot.
Turn Wi-Fi Assist on or off: If Wi-Fi connectivity is poor, Wi-Fi Assist uses cellular
data to boost the signal.
Note: Using data over a cellular network may incur additional fees.
Set whether cellular data is used for apps and services. Go to Settings > Cellular,
then turn cellular data on or off for any app that can use cellular data. If a setting is off,
iPhone uses only Wi-Fi for that service. The iTunes setting includes both iTunes Match
and automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and the App Store.
Sell or give away iPhone
Before you sell or give away your iPhone, be sure to back it up (see Back up iPhone),
then erase all content and settings, including your personal information.
tf
Erase iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. If you
