Update info about using Siri to turn on / off switch control #63

Open fbernutz opened 3 weeks ago

What does this PR do?

In some newer iOS versions, it is working fine to use Siri to turn on or off switch control. I could not find iOS release notes on information in which iOS version this was added, but it's working in iOS 17.6.1. Since this makes turning on and off switch control immensely easier, I would like to add it to the docs even though it might not be working for some users with lower iOS version.

How do you test this PR?

This doesn't work on iOS 17.5.1. Currently updating to 17.6.1.

It doesn't work for me on iOS 17.6.1, both in Dutch and English.

Can you make a video showcasing that how it works on your device, @fbernutz ? Thanks!

Hey @JJdeGroot , sorry I just saw your reply.

Here's a video. I press the power button to use Siri and say "Turn on Switch Control", later I say "Turn off Switch Control":

My phone is set to English language + region is Germany, Siri language is set to English (UK). I have an iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 17.6.1. Switch Control scanning style is auto, control mode is "Item Mode", I have setup one switch with Full Screen to select item. I also have the accessibility shortcuts setup for some assistive technologies including Switch Control 🤔
