Hi, You ar doing the gestures correctly. I don’t get why you are not hearing 
tones or anything. Do you hear a tone when putting your finger on the bottom of 
the screen? Maybe try swiping up a little bit faster? The most comfusing part 
is why isn’t the phone vibrating. Try turning sounds on in the rotor and have 
the store employees make sure vibrations are turned on.

Hello folks,

Yesterday I had the chance to drop by the Apple Store and play a little with 
the new iPhones, XS and max.  I thought I would find it easy to use, since many 
of you spoke about the replacement gestures to the home key.  I assumed that a 
slow slide up until I hear the first tone would take me to the home screen, and 
if I continued the slide up until I hear the second tone it would take me to 
the app switcher.

Unfortunately, when I did my slow slide up I did not hear any tones to know 
when to lift my finger to go to the home screen, or how to go to the app 
switcher.  Either the store was too noisy and I missed hearing the tones, or 
the tones were turned off.  One of the store employees told me that I should 
feel a vibration when I slide up to the point of lifting my finger, but I felt 
no vibration either.  What is going on?  Where did I go wrong?  I admit that it 
was a very discouraging experience for me.

 

What do you suggest?

 

Cheers,

Good for you and your getting it so fast. All I can say is play with
it if this Xs is what you want. I know someone that has one so might
play with it a bit more but I can't see myself buying anytime soon.

Re: How to return to the home screen on iPhone XS?

[regina alvarado]

As I said before it took me about 2 weeks to get the gesture to work reliably. 
It is called persistence. I hated my phone when I was going through it, but now 
it works most times. One thing to remember is that you must go 
completely to the bottom of the screen and run your finger along the bottom 
until you get the feedback. After you get that feedback you swipe up with your 
finger extremely lightly to find the second and third haptics. Hope this helps. 
Oh, one thing that helped with swiping for me was to swipe, once I found the 
first haptic, at the bottom with my finger parallel with the bottom of the 
screen. No idea why this helped me, but it did and at times I still use that if

RE: How to return to the home screen on iPhone XS?

[Cris Ali]

Yes, I had a sighted friend with me and we turned voiceover on before I started 
to play.  As I said, either the tone was too low for me to notice in a noisy 
environment, or it was not working.  What I can’t get is why the vibration was 
not noticeable either, if it is supposed to vibrate.

Subject: RE: How to return to the home screen on iPhone XS?

I suggest you ask an Apple employee to make sure it’s working correctly, was 
Voiceover even on?
When the iPhone X first came out last year I also went to an Apple Store at 
some point to check it out and while it took me a while to get the gesture the 
Apple employee seemed knowledgeable about it and the main thing is that if you 
do it slow it probably won’t work. Also, you do have to make sure you start at 
the very bottom. What I did was that I put my finger on the screen near the 
bottom and waited for a beat and that was my problem, you just have to do it, 
place your finger and swipe up. Of course I assume the app switcher won’t work 
unless the phone is already unlocked first.

Subject: How to return to the home screen on iPhone XS?

Hello folks,
Yesterday I had the chance to drop by the Apple Store and play a little with 
the new iPhones, XS and max.  I thought I would find it easy to use, since many 
of you spoke about the replacement gestures to the home key.  I assumed that a 
slow slide up until I hear the first tone would take me to the home screen, and 
if I continued the slide up until I hear the second tone it would take me to 
the app switcher.
Unfortunately, when I did my slow slide up I did not hear any tones to know 
when to lift my finger to go to the home screen, or how to go to the app 
switcher.  Either the store was too noisy and I missed hearing the tones, or 
the tones were turned off.  One of the store employees told me that I should 
feel a vibration when I slide up to the point of lifting my finger, but I felt 
no vibration either.  What is going on?  Where did I go wrong?  I admit that it 
was a very discouraging experience for me.

What do you suggest?

Cheers,

Cris

You can always bring your headset if you want to hear better, but the 
vibrations should be there.
If your headset is still one with 3.5mm plug just ask the Apple employee to get 
you an adapter, also make sure you ask if they have an employee who is familiar 
with Voiceover, most stores have at least one person who will be.

Re: How to return to the home screen on iPhone XS?

[Maria Reyes]

Hi, You ar doing the gestures correctly. I don’t get why you are not hearing 
tones or anything. Do you hear a tone when putting your finger on the bottom of 
the screen? Maybe try swiping up a little bit faster? The most comfusing part 
is why isn’t the phone vibrating. Try turning sounds on in the rotor and have 
the store employees make sure vibrations are turned on.
