Thanks Chris,
I’ll check that out; this may be a good alternative. Debbie From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Chris Chaffin Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2025 10:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Still getting used to no home button Not sure why it takes you to the app switcher sometimes, but the control center is the correct place you should go at the first sound when sliding one finger down the screen. Personally this is what I do, which is quicker for me. I do not use any of the sliding the one finger up or down gestures. For the control center and the notification center, the old gestures still work. Touch the status bar at the top: Then a three finger swipe down will take you to the notification center, and a three finger swipe up will take you to the control center. For the app switcher and to go home, I went to the touch gesture command settings that was pointed out in a previous message, and set 2 different gestures to do the same thing. I use a two finger swipe left to go home, and a two finger swipe right to bring up the app switcher. Now just know, that even though you assign going home and the app switcher to other gestures, this does not turn off the sliding gestures. So if you do that, either would work. Hope this helps.

I’m still new at this so I understand if its user error but just want to know if there is an answer to this? Also, when I try to send a text message through Siri, she cuts me off if I end a sentence but am not through with the message. Then, she doesn’t read me back the message. Long time ago I remember setting something up so that I can swipe with 2 fingers left and right to go through my rotor options and this is still what I do sometimes but I’m wondering if I can set something up like this but to go to the app switcher or home? I don’t remember how this is done. Can someone please answer some of these things please? I’d really appreciate it for me but especially for my husband who is also new to not having a home button!
