You’ll experience a clear acceleration of speed. Now you has an iOS device with no system animation. While discussing on the matter in reddit, one user cn98 explains, “For those that have still not gotten it to work… Start off with the assistive touch button in the right hand lower corner of the screen. Every time you slide down in spotlight search make sure you wait for the assistive touch button to move on top of the keyboard and continuously repeat steps 3 and 4.”
