Thanks Chris,

 

I’ll check that out; this may be a good alternative.

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.

 

Chris

Hello,

 

On my iPhone 17, why is it that sometimes when I slide down to the first blip 
from the top, it goes to the app switcher and other times it goes to the 
control center? 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!

 

Thanks so much!

 

Debbie
