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.

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 -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
