If you’re blind or have low vision, you can use the Magnifier app on iPad to detect when people are nearby and get information about how close they are. This can be useful if you want to maintain a physical or social distance from others.
Important: Detection Mode should not be relied on in high-risk or emergency situations, in circumstances where you may be harmed or injured, or for navigation. Detection of people is only available on , you can add it. See .
Go to the Magnifier app to adjust the distance for sound feedback. When people are detected within this distance, the pitch of the sound feedback increases.
Feedback: Turn on any combination of Labels, Sounds, and Speech. If you turn on Speech, iPad speaks the distance between you and another person.
When you’re finished, tap Accessibility features for vision on iPad
