Automatically back to home screen

[iMore Question]

Hi,
I own a iPhone 5, and I'm quite pleased with it. But one thing I hate, is that everytime I enter the code to get in to the phone it always starts in the last app I was using. Then I have to push home button one, two or even three times to get to the start screen. I wish it could automatically (always) start in the home screen. Is that possible?

Welcome to iMore!

I'm using a 6s on iOS 9.3 and it still does that. I think the only way to prevent it is to ensure you're at your home screen before the phone goes into sleep mode.

Thank you for responding, but I still have to push the home button the same number of times! That irritates me a lot...

Yes, you will have to push the home button once to get to your home screen. It is by design. That is too much of a minor thing to get irritated with, in my opinion. As stated above, if you want your home screen to appear after unlocking your device, make sure that you are viewing your homes teen when the device goes into sleep mode.

And it's not only when I turn it on/off, it's also when I want to use another app... That's a lot of pushing!
