Reach Anywhere on the Screen With Just One Hand
With the size of iPhones — and smartphones in general — increasing all the time, one hand isn’t enough to control your iPhone anymore.
If you hold your iPhone from the bottom, you’ll likely never be able to reach the top of your screen to check your notifications or access your Control Center.
Sure, you can use the Back Tap feature to make it easier to control, but there is also another way. This is called Reachability, which makes your screen drop-down so you can reach the top with just one hand.
First, you’ll need to make sure Reachability is enabled. Here’s how to check:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap on Accessibility.
- Select Touch.
- Enable Reachability.
And that’s it. You can now use this feature by swiping down from the bottom of your screen on an iPhone with Face ID or double-tapping the Home button on iPhones that have one. Your iPhone’s display should slide down so you can reach the top.
Once you’re done, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen to return to normal.
