If you are looking to buy one for yourself, you can go for Reels Remote or TikTok Page Turner. Both of these reliable options allow you to scroll through Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts without touching your phone.

Method 3 – Use the iPhone’s Build-in Voice Services

iPhone users can use the built-in voice control feature baked into their iPhone’s accessibility suite. It can easily control your iPhone and scroll Instagram’s reels and Shorts without touching your iPhone. Let’s quickly look at how to turn on voice control on the iPhone to scroll reels and shorts without touching the screen.

2. In accessibility settings, select “Voice Control.”

3. Click on “Set Up Voice Control.”

4. Tap “Continue” and follow the on-screen instructions to enable it.

5. Next, click on “Commands” and tap “Create New Command.”

7. Click on Action and select Run Custom Gesture.

8. Draw a quick swipe-up gesture on the screen. Tap “Save.”

9. Go back and tap “Application.”
