LambdaTest's **Assistive Touch** feature enables you to perform key system-level actions directly from the testing toolbar during manual sessions on real iPhones and iPads.
52+
This allows you to replicate gestures such as going to the Home Screen, opening the Notification Center, taking screenshots, and more without pressing physical device buttons.
53+
54+
---
55+
56+
## Use Cases
57+
58+
- Navigate to the Home Screen after completing a flow (e.g., logout, relaunch).
59+
- Open the Notification Center to test notification-related workflows.
60+
- Switch between apps to validate background/foreground behavior.
61+
- Capture screenshots for UI validation or bug reporting.
62+
- Simulate a shake gesture to test motion-based features.
63+
64+
---
65+
66+
## How It Works
67+
68+
Assistive Touch uses LambdaTest’s on-device instrumentation to emulate native iOS gestures via a simple **Assistive Actions** panel.
69+
When triggered, each action behaves exactly as it would on a physical device, allowing accurate test scenarios without manual button presses.
70+
71+
---
72+
73+
### Key Features
74+
75+
- Works on **iPhones and iPads running iOS/iPadOS 14 and above**.
76+
- Five pre-set system actions: Home, Notification Center, App Switcher, Screenshot, Shake Gesture.
77+
- One-click trigger from the **App Live** toolbar.
78+
- Hover tooltips (desktop) and toast confirmations for every action.
79+
- Auto-disable unsupported actions with a “Not supported on this device” message.
