Anyone using Reachability on their device?

[pkcable]

Folks,

Everyone knows you can tap twice in quick succession on your home button to engage the iPhone's Reachability function right? This handy little feature lets you quickly access the top half of whatever is on your screen. It bring down the top one half of your screen to the bottom for easy thumb and finger presses. With the "plus" models 6 on up this feature is VERY useful! Works on the regular iPhone too!

I use it all the time. It's become second nature to double tap to reach an icon or select something on screen. I didn't use it much when it was first added, but once I started remembering it was there, I use it all the time.

I find it more annoying than anything, especially if I accidentally activate it. Maybe I should try fitting it into my usage again.

LOL I sorta had that happen when I discovered it. I triggered it by accident and I was like "WTF!!!!!" I had no idea what I had just done and I think I ended up restarting my device to fix it, wasn't till after I did research and found out about the feature that I learned to use it and love it, AND how to quickly turn it back to regular view. (double tap again)

Yeah that was issue, I would accidentally activate it then be upset about and not think to try double tapping again ha ha. I'll give it a fair shake for the next few days or so.

i know its there, i could see WHY its useful but find it annoying.

 

[TwitchyPuppy]

Yeah, quite often! It helps with one hand usability

I used it with 6s but feels a bit different on the 7.

Everyday

All. The. Time. Easily my favorite feature on the device.

I use 2 hands most of the time. So I've kept it off.

I don't really use it on my 6s, but can see that it would be helpful on the plus size phones! And yes, like others, the first time I inadvertently did this, I panicked and did restarted my phone! I have to confess that I was trying to access this, but was double "Pressing" rather than double "tapping". It's amazing what a difference a word makes! LOL!!! Again, this is a good example of another one of my "pebcak" errors. LOL!

If only I knew I wouldn't have ordered a Thumb Stretcher from Amazon. lol


My girl uses it on her 7plus once in a while

It's one of the first things I turn off. I didn't know about it when I had my iPhone 6 and figured it was a glitch until I asked one of my coworkers.

I find I'm using it more than I thought I would.

Does keeping it on drain battery? Or is it just annoying cause you active accidentally?

 

[Tartarus]

I use it quite often when I operate my iPhone 7 Plus with just one hand or even sometimes with 2 hands when I'm too laze to move my one hand to the top while holding it with the other.

And no, I don't think Reachability requires much from the battery.

 

[mumfoau]

I use it from time to time. Should probably use it more than I do honestly.

 

[afctee]

I keep forgetting to use that option...

 

[Rob Phillips]

I use it daily.
