VoiceOver tip that changes everything on iPhone: learn the rotor. Put two fingers on the screen and twist like you're turning a dial. Set it to Headings, then swipe up or down with one finger to jump heading to heading. No more swiping through an entire page to find what you want.

@payown@dragonscave.space And if for whatever reason you can't perform the two-finger rotation, remap it to two finger swipe left or right unless you're using grouped navigation.

@payown@dragonscave.space Even better, change the two-finger left and right swipe gestures under VoiceOver to go between headings. They're already assigned, but I think they're for group navigation.

@payown@dragonscave.space I take that a step further and have defined a two finger swipe right as next heading and a two finger swipe left as previous heading. Since I use heading navigation a lot, these gestures ensure that I can navigate by headings immediately, whenever I need to.
