Learn these iPhone gestures to tap and swipe like a pro

So whether you’re upgrading from an iPhone 8 or have been using the home indicator since the iPhone X, check out our guide to every gesture and command you need to know.

NAVIGATION

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. Easy.

Wake it up: You can still raise the phone to wake it like you can on other modern iPhones or tap the side button. Modern iPhones also support tap-to-wake: just tap the display to wake it up.

Swipe left or right along the bottom edge of the phone to jump back and forth between apps.
