These gestures can disturb users while playing games: since games involve a lot of tapping and swiping, iOS keeps detecting multi-finger gestures and reacts to them, which is annoying for the player.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve this issue, turn off multi-finger swipe gestures on your iPad. Go to &ldquo;Settings&rdquo; &gt; &ldquo;Home screen &amp; Dock&rdquo;. Choose &ldquo;Multitasking&rdquo; and toggle off &ldquo;Gestures&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will limit gestures to single and dual-finger touch operations only, disabling multi-finger touch.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-create-custom-gestures-on-iphone\">Creating custom gestures on iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Using the &ldquo;Accessibility&rdquo; feature of the iPhone, you can add your favorite gestures as shortcuts. For example, you can customize Touch and Hold to perform some action on your phone, or you can initiate a gesture based on a certain degree of rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create your custom gestures on iPhone, go to Setting &gt; Accessibility &gt; &ldquo;Assistive Touch&rdquo; and toggle on &ldquo;Assistive Touch&rdquo;. Next, scroll down and choose &ldquo;Custom New Gestures&rdquo;. Follow the instructions to create your new customized gestures for iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-8 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-24-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-24-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-24-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-24.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-24-576x1024.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10175 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-24-576x1024.png.webp 576w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-24-169x300.png.webp 169w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-24.png.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-24.png?wsr\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-21\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-25-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-25-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-25-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-25.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-25-576x1024.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10176 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-25-576x1024.png.webp 576w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-25-169x300.png.webp 169w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-25.png.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-25.png?wsr\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-22\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-26-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-26-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-26-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-26.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-26-576x1024.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10177 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-26-576x1024.png.webp 576w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-26-169x300.png.webp 169w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-26.png.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image-26.png?wsr\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-23\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-disable-ipad-gestures\">Disabling iPad gestures<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>iPad gestures can cause trouble while playing games that involve a lot of swiping and screen touching.
