What's new in accessibility
Your BlackBerry device is designed to help you stay productive with assistive technology for people with disabilities and
special requirements. BlackBerry continues to improve the accessibility features on your BlackBerry device with updates

Gestures

regard. To use the "Where am I" gesture, tap the screen with two fingers. When you are on the home screen, the
"Where am I" gesture reads information about the icon on the top left of the screen.
