iPhone touch gestures and commands – no Home button, no problem
During the first decade of the iPhone’s existence, the Home button was a reliable constant. Then, with the iPhone X, it suddenly disappeared, and since then, all the new iPhones (the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone 11, and iPhone 11 Pro) have featured edge-to-edge displays with no Home button.
What’s more, the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro don’t have 3D Touch. So Apple has adapted iOS to make it easier to use without a Home button or pressure-sensitive touches. Here’s a quick guide to all the new gestures and button combinations you’ll need to use a modern iPhone with iOS 13.
Return Home: Let’s start with the most basic of Home button features: returning to the home screen. Just swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
Wake it up: You can still raise the phone to wake it like you can on other modern iPhones, or tap the side button.
