Apple includes a raft of accessibility options in iOS to meet the various needs of its users, allowing them to customize their iPhone and iPad interface in several helpful ways. To make these features quicker to access, Apple also includes an Accessibility Shortcut feature in iOS that, once set up, can be invoked using a triple click of the Home button (or Side button if you have a device with Face ID).

This shortcut feature is ideal for users who could benefit from fast access to a customized menu of accessibility options. It's also a great solution if you just want a quick way to control a single accessibility mode like Reduce White Point, for example, which dims the screen below standard low brightness levels. Here we'll show you how to set up Accessibility Shortcut for either use case.

Accessibility's assistive touch is one of the most important features in iOS and we are glad it's receiving so much development. It would also be nice if Apple would implement a 'shake to lock' option the same way the jailbreak feature works. It literally is the only thing we are waiting for in iOS, now that night mode has been implemented.

Oh and also bring back the ability to turn off the wifi and Bluetooth signals entirely from whatever that pull up menu is called. I don't need wifi and Bluetooth being directly radiated into my rear end all day while its in my pocket when I'm too busy or forget to open up several screens to close it properly.

See? This article is genuinely helpful. I've been using iOS since THE BEGINNING, and was using the zoom & reduce white point (great for the morning check whilst still laying in bed and not permanently burning your retinas) but only using the triple side button click. Hadn't even thought of adding Accessibility to Control Center.
 
I was going to do something similar to what TheYellowAudi proposes; however, if you enable the Accessibility shortcut, there will be a slight delay when you double-click the home button (as it’s waiting for a possible third click to open up the shortcut).

That was enough to bother me and make me not want to use it, but your mileage may vary.
