What is Voice Control?
Voice Control is an accessibility feature that was first released for the iPhone 3GS in June 2009.
It is specifically designed to help users who may have issues with physical gestures by letting them control their iPhone via their voice.
How does this help with apps like TikTok? You can use the tool to complete a range of gestures, such as scrolling, zooming, text editing, and swiping.
How do I turn on Voice Control?
First, head to your iPhone’s settings app and tap “Accessibility”.
Then tap “Set up voice control” or simply switch it on if you’ve set it up previously.
Once the feature is ready to go you can set up a command that will make your iPhone do what you tell it to.

To do that, tap “Customise Commands” > “Create New Command”. In the phrase box, enter a speakable phrase of your choice.
Tap “Action” and hit “Run custom gesture”. Swipe up on your display. You should leave behind a short blue line on the screen. Tap “save”.
Next, head into “Application” and select TikTok.
Now, whenever you have TikTok open, speaking your selected command word aloud will cause the app to perform the associated function.
It’s a handy time-saver that can make using your favorite apps a breeze.
Other accessibility features in iOS include VoiceOver, which reads websites or text messages aloud, and Magnifier, which turns your iPhone camera into a magnifying glass.
