Re: Reliable way of accessing the Control Center

[Gerardo Corripio]

Exactly! Yes because I never saw the use for Screen Curtain, thus opting to assign the gesture for something more useful, like going to the "Home" screen, which is what one does more with these devices.

Also for the Control Center and Notification Center, I've set up (this was since my SE 2nd Generation days, thus I'm so happy they transfered over to this new one), with 4-finger triple-tap, and 4-finger quadruple tap. I guess my intuition had was already telling me that the next iPhone (after the SE 2nd Generation) would be without a Home button?

I've been using iPhones without a home button for about 4 years and I've never found the single finger slide gesture from either the top or bottom of the screen to access the previous four things to be as easy to do as its alternatives. I even set up custom gestures to access the App switcher and the Home screen because I'm not a fan of the single finger slide ones. I can do the single finger slide gestures but I much prefer the alternatives.    Alan  Sent from my iPhone On Sep 14, 2025, at 9:45 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote:  Hello Alan, do you still have an iPhone with a home button or one where you have to swipe up from the bottom for Home and the App Switcher? Of course everybody should use what they are most comfortable with and it’s good Apple sometimes gives us more than one option to accomplish the same thing, but if somebody is first learning/building muscle memory to bring up the control centre or notification centre, I would argue practicing and learning the single finger swipe down is the way to go, To me it is more intuitive and fluent compared to first touching the status bar, then moving my hand down so I can swipe up again with 3 fingers. Once you get used to it, it is just as easy and reliable as touching the bottom and swiping up for going back to the home screen.   From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2025 6:59 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Reliable way of accessing the Control Center   To be more specific, place focus on an item on the topline status bar such as time, cellular, WiFi, or battery level and do a 3 finger swipe up. I find this method much easier for accessing the control center versus the single finger slide down from the top of the screen.    Alan Lemly  Sent from my iPhone   On Sep 13, 2025, at 8:31 PM, Tom Lange <lang...@gmail.com> wrote:  Touch the top of the screen.
