Re: new to iPhone without a home button

[Joshua Hendrickson]

All it takes is some practice to get better at the gestures. I don’t miss a home button in the leasts. Good luck. Sent from my quantum phone!!

I did not map any special gestures, but do use Siri if I’m getting frustrated. You can ask Siri to go to the home screen or to open a certain app. Sometimes I think I am trying to do the swipe up gesture too quickly.  I agree that it just doesn’t’ feel as reliable as the home button for me either, but I’m seeing progress.       From: 'Louana Sterling' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, December 1, 2025 10:03 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: new to iPhone without a home button   Hi, I had the same problem but if you keep trying it gets easier… I find if I touch the top of the screen before swiping  it will work better… hth On Dec 1, 2025, at 10:57 AM, Donald Raikes <don.rai...@gmail.com> wrote:  Hi, I have tried to put off getting a n iPhone without a home button for as long as I could but about 2 weeks ago my se 2020 phone stopped working so I got an iPhone 16E. I am slowly getting used to it but I still find it frustrating to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the "home" or "app switcher" locations on the screen. It seems very unreliable.   I saw on the applevis website that it is possible to map siri gestures to perform these functions and/or use the action button as well.   Does anyone have any tips on how to create the gestures or map the action button (I am not particular which method I use I just need something more reliable than what I currently have)    Thanks in advance.   Sincerely, Donald Raikes, CPACC Accessibility Specialist IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core competencies -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
