# Set up Custom Actions

## Custom actions in the Assistive Touch are not settings for the eye gaze user, but for the caregiver or communication partner. They are especially helpful to assist early stage users.

You can choose which action happens when you physically tap, double tap, or long-press the Assistive Touch menu.

**Set it up:**

Go to Settings - Accessibility - Touch - Assistive Touch - Custom Actions section.
