"QOL - Tip: "Fake" Calcy IV button for iOS"


#PokemonGO: Hey everyone,Looking for ways to optimize my own QOL when using Pokemon Go, I stumbled upon an idea that brings us closer to the Calcy IV functionality Android users have (IV button overlay).It's not quite the same as you still have to use an IV rating app such as PokeGenie, PokeRater, SmartIV or any other app that offers background scanning.Yet, the process becomes smoother, you don't have to use your hardware keys and it feels more "natural" to scan IVs this way.If the background-scanner apps would integrate a way to give a range for Pokemon in the catching screen, this would be the closest you can get to CalcyIV.​The following tip will put a gray button on your display (about the size of the CalcyIV one on Android) that can be used to take screenshots. With a background scanner active, it will show you the Pokemon's details via a push message, like you are used to.To activate it:Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch -> Onand: Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch -> Single-Tap -> ScreenshotFurther settings:If you put the "App Switcher" as the functionality for "Double-Tap" it will allow you to access your IV-scanner faster to re-activate the background scanning.Idle Opacity: If you want the button to be non-obstructive when you don't use it, you can lower the opacity so it's barely visible when not using itYou can also put a shortcut on the Power-button (iPhones with no home button) or Home-Button (iPhone models with a hardware button) so that if you push it three times, you de-activate AssistiveTouch until you need it (you can re-activate it by pushing the Power-button 3 times again). You can access this via:Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut -> Assistive Touch.An alternative would be to put a toggle in the Control - Center (Settings -> Control Centre -> Customise controls -> Accessibility Shortcuts)Sorry if some people already use it and it's obvious for them. For all others, I hope it's a small QOL update for yourselves :-)Click here for a demo. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://bit.ly/2DILrff
