  5. There are a lot of features and improvements needed to ensure iOS 14 and watchOS 7 are as accessible as possible to people with severe physical disabilities.

    iOS 14

    1) Better Voice Control and dictation – support for UK English, and a beefed-up Siri speech-to-text engine. Also
    fixing a bug that mangles text dictated into the main Google search text box.

    2) Smarter Siri – the ability to use a Siri voice command to end/hang up a phone call e.g. “Hey Siri end call”

    3) Ability to answer calls with a voice command “Hey Siri Answer”

    4) Auto Answer – ability to toggle the Auto-Answer feature on and off with a Siri voice command, (you can most accessibility features but not this one strangely) and use it in Shortcuts e.g. you put your Airpods in your ears and automatically the Auto-Answer feature is enabled and vice versa

    5) Accessibility menu – the ability to make the hierarchy of the accessibility menu completely customisable to the user’s own disability.

    6) Announce Messages with Siri – will become more useful when other messaging services, such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, become integrated. Apple needs to release a API

    watchOS 7

    1) Watch cellular needs the auto-answer feature

    2) Watch cellular needs ability to answer calls and end calls with a voice command

    3) Bring Announce Messages with Siri to the Watch

    If some of these features can be implemented in iOS 14 and watchOS 7 it will go a long way to make the iPhone and Watch truly accessible to people who have problems handling the iPhone and touching the screen and Watch face because of severe physical disability, and need to do more on their devices with their voice. I think they would also be popular with a lot of people generally.

  6. This is totally waste life time pass things just talking about apple products etc better go outside do some social work
