How to Use the Home Bar on iPhone X

How to Use the Home Bar on iPhone X

In place of the Home button is a new rectangular bar at the bottom of the iPhone X’s display.

This new Home indicator mimics the functionality of the analog Home button, but with a rather clean and unobtrusive form.

It’s also incredibly simple to get the hang of.

1. To get to the Home screen from a locked iPhone, simply wait for Face ID to authenticate.
2. Then swipe-up from the bottom of the screen (from the Home bar).

This same motion takes you to the Home screen no matter where you are on your phone. Simply swipe-up from within an app to head home.

How to Switch Apps on iPhone X

Rather than “double-clicking” an analog button, you now switch between apps by using gestures on the Home bar. There are actually two ways to do this.

• A simple swipe-up and pause from the bottom of the screen will activate the multitasking pane, where you can view and scrub between open apps.
• You can also swipe left or right on the Home bar itself to quickly switch between open apps without opening up multitasking.
