Anyone else uses the Assistive Touch feature? And why?

Not really. I used to use it when my lock button stopped functioning on my iPhone 5.

I've been using it since iOS 6

It comes in handy when my iphone is mounted to my car because there's no home button jarring just a screen tap. I also find it more convenient while taking screenshots

I use this all the time since it came out. Prevents my home button from wear and tear

I have this fear that one fine morning my home button might just give up on me. So, I have been using assistive touch ever since I bought my iPhone.

I use it mainly because I can screen cap and control volume buttons with one hand. I originally was using it when my lock button stopped working on my 5.

Use it all the time. The home button takes allot of wear and tear, I figured any help saving the home button is the way to go.

I use it on my iPhone 5S & iPad Air

Good Luck

I used it for quite a long time because it help reduce the wear and tear of the Home and Power buttons. However, I noticed that there is a bug with the Notification Center and Control Center and stopped using it.

I'm not having any issues with it on my iPhone 5S or my iPad Air.

Welcome to iMore neonlex

I also have been using it for sometime and haven't experienced any of the issues you stated. Can you give us a little more info on the bug your experiencing??

I don?t use assistive touch at all. The Home button was put there for a reason.

I?ve owned every model iPhone since the original. I have NEVER had a Home button fail. The "takes a lot of wear and tear" argument is pure poppycock.

Do you also use headphones to save wear and tear on the speaker? SMH

I've actually been having some odd issues with my home button, so I'm using Assistive Touch until I figure out my odd problem that involves Siri. I know...long story.

Lucky you. I had two phones that had home button problems. IPhone 3g and 3GS
