The lock screen in iOS 7 is very similar to the lock screen of iOS 6 and earlier, but with some improvements.

Widgets

    iOS 7 uses a style similar to widgets on other mobile platforms. The standard widget is the time, but if you are playing audio, then the standard lock screen widget will be the audio player widget. If you are near a location that uses passbook, you can see a small picture of your card, along with the option to unlock to scan your card there on the lock screen.
    <h2>Unlocking your device</h2>
    Below are the current/new ways to unlock your device from the lock screen.
    <ul>
        <li>As with earlier releases of iOS, you can unlock your device by finding and double/split tapping the slide to unlock button.</li>
        <li>Also in previous versions of iOS, double tap a notification to unlock your device to that application.</li>
        <li>New to iOS 7, take three fingers and flick right from anywhere on the screen. This will unlock your device and bring you to your last location.</li>
    </ul>
    <h2>Control and Notification Centers</h2>
    Control center and Notification center can now be accessed from the lock screen as well. open those sections of this app to learn more about them. accessing these features work the same even if your on your lock screen.

    There have been many improvements to the lock screen, so it's really a good idea to explore this area, and see what changes or aditions you can find that we have not discussed here.

Two new options have been added to the VoiceOver settings page in the Settings app. Languages and dialects, and Large Cursor

Languages and Dialects

VoiceOver in iOS6 had an option called Language Rotor, which let users place their favorite languages on the rotor. In iOS 7, Languages and Dialects contains settings for switching the default VoiceOver voice, and to add multiple languages to VoiceOver. There is also an option to download the enhanced version of that voice, and iOS will even report the size of the enhanced voice.

Large Cursor

When VoiceOver is focused on content or controls, a small box is shown around the focused item. This is called the VoiceOver Cursor. The Large Cursor setting transforms the VoiceOver cursor into a thickly lined box with a red border to emphasize focus.

While the release of iOS 7 introduces many visual changes, VoiceOver has remained relatively unchanged. Consequently, VoiceOver users should notice very few changes to the day to day operation of their devices.

VoiceOver Settings

There are two new settings in the Voiceover settings section of the Settings app. Languages and Dialects, and Large Cursor. Go to the VO Settings section to learn more about these options.

Automatic App Updates

Resources

<

p dir=”ltr”>We will post several resources sections as the app updates. These sections will point you in the direction of online learning resources, and to other apps in the iOS App Store to help you find out new ways to use VoiceOver It is also a good idea to follow accessibility.net and AppleVis for the best online VoiceOver resources and help.

VO Change is designed to acquaint VoiceOver users to the new changes introduced in the latest version of iOS. This app’s content will be updated each time Apple pushes a major iOS software update that effects VoiceOver, so make sure to look for new updates here in VO Change.

VO Change will update as new information becomes available. All iOS 7 data will be in the app, and iOS 8 and above data will be added, so keep in mind that the app will update as new data becomes available. This app does now require an internet connection to function, so you will need to have internet access for the app to work.
