Hi Rick, I have a glass screen protector on my 6S Plus as well, but it could definitely be different for different hardware. I think somebody said instead of a double tap and hold they did a harder press on the button and swiped down, maybe give that a try. I definitely had to tap right on that button for this to work for me, it's not like a double tap to activate a button where after the button has focus you can tap anywhere at least that did not work for me.

I have a tempered glass screen protector on my 8 plus. Wonder if it's interfering somehow? Or, is this maybe an iphone 8/8plus issue? -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Monday, September 25, 2017 5:21 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET It is not the Store button, initially thought that was the one as well. First of all, make sure you are in an iMessage not a regular text message. Now, once you are in the edit field, swipe left once and you land on a button called "Messaging Apps", that is the one you want. I tried to do a double tap and hold and swipe down after I put focus on that button and that for me at least didn't work. I had to actually find the button on the screen, then do a double tap and hold and swipe down when I was on that spot. If that is the same for you, just move your finger left from the edit field and you'll find it, if you go past it on the very outside and to the left of that button is the "Attach Media" button.

When I press and hold on the store button in that message doc nothing happens. Thanks for any assistance.
