([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/yspjor?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### How to Exit One Handed Mode\n\nOn your iPhone 15 Pro Max, when Reachability is active, you can get back to full-screen mode by doing **any** of the following:\n\n1. **Swipe up** from the blurred bottom area.  \n   This action typically restores the screen to its full height. ([youtube.com](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQ-4xtO1_c&utm_source=openai))  \n2. **Tap the upward-pointing arrow** in the middle of the screen (if one appears). ([youtube.com](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQ-4xtO1_c&utm_source=openai))  \n3. **Tap the blurred area** at the bottom. ([youtube.com](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQ-4xtO1_c&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Extra Tips\n\n- If Reachability keeps activating accidentally (especially while using VoiceOver or Braille screen input), you may want to **disable or adjust** it to avoid unintentional triggers.  \n- To disable Reachability: Settings \u2192 Accessibility \u2192 Touch \u2192 Reachability \u2192 toggle **off**.  \n- If you do use it often but want smoother control, use these gestures carefully so you don\u2019t trigger it by mistake.\n\n---\n\nIf \u201cone-handed mode\u201d in your case refers to something that\u2019s *not* Reachability (maybe a different Braille layout or input mode), just tell me and I\u2019ll walk you through that exact setup!"

        "content": "What you're describing sounds like **Single-Handed Mode** for *Braille Screen Input (BSI)* in iOS / iPadOS 26+. When it seems like you're in \u201cone-handed mode,\u201d likely Single-Hand Mode has been activated. Here\u2019s how to exit it, or switch back to regular mode.\n\n---\n\n## What Is Single-Hand Mode in Braille Screen Input\n\n- Introduced with **iOS 26**, Single-Hand Mode lets you input braille using one hand (left or right), or using Slate & Stylus layouts, etc. ([afb.org](https://www.afb.org/blog/entry/ios-26-accessibility-features?utm_source=openai))  \n- It only works in **portrait orientation**, and isn\u2019t available on iPad. ([afb.org](https://www.afb.org/blog/entry/ios-26-accessibility-features?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How to Exit Single-Handed Mode\n\nYou can exit Single-Hand Mode and return to the standard two-handed Braille Input using one of these methods:\n\n1. **Use the Rotor**  \n   - With VoiceOver on, rotate the rotor until you change the setting away from Braille Screen Input mode. That will exit any current braille screen entry mode (including Single-Hand Mode). ([reading.serenaabinusa.workers.dev](https://reading.serenaabinusa.workers.dev/readme-https-support.apple.com/en-ae/guide/iphone/iph10366cc30/26/ios/26?utm_source=openai))  \n\n2. **Two-Finger Scrub Gesture**  \n   - Do a **two-finger scrub**: place two fingers on the screen and move them back and forth quickly, tracing a \u201cZ\u201d style motion. This generally exits Braille Screen Input altogether. ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/en-us/101637?utm_source=openai))  \n\n3. **Slide Two Fingers in Opposite Directions**  \n   - Another gesture option is sliding two fingers in opposite directions (i.e. pull them apart). This also exits Braille Screen Input. ([reading.serenaabinusa.workers.dev](https://reading.serenaabinusa.workers.dev/readme-https-support.apple.com/en-ae/guide/iphone/iph10366cc30/26/ios/26?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How to Prevent Accidental Entry Into One-Hand Mode\n\nIf you find Single-Hand Mode happens unintentionally, you can tweak settings:\n\n- Go to **Settings \u2192 Accessibility \u2192 VoiceOver \u2192 Braille \u2192 Braille Screen Input**  \n    \u2022 Turn **off** \u201cUse Activation Gestures\u201d if you don\u2019t want gestures like double-tap with two fingers at top & bottom to activate BSI. ([reading.serenaabinusa.workers.dev](https://reading.serenaabinusa.workers.dev/readme-https-support.apple.com/en-ae/guide/iphone/iph10366cc30/26/ios/26?utm_source=openai))  \n    \u2022 Make sure \u201cStart Automatically When Editing\u201d is off if you don\u2019t want BSI to come on automatically in text fields. ([reading.serenaabinusa.workers.dev](https://reading.serenaabinusa.workers.dev/readme-https-support.apple.com/en-ae/guide/iphone/iph10366cc30/26/ios/26?utm_source=openai))  \n\n- Adjust which rotor items are active, or reposition Braille Screen Input further from frequently used rotor positions to reduce accidental activations. ([groups.google.com](https://groups.google.com/g/applebraille/c/T95txBUJIeM/m/QIHXwDt6BAAJ?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through exactly how to switch modes (Right-hand, Left-hand, etc.), or how to turn off Single-Hand Mode altogether on your iPhone 15 Pro Max. Do you want help doing that?"
