When to Use Reachability Ios?

When you use iPhone with one hand in Portrait orientation, you can use Reachability to lower the top half of the screen so it's within easy reach of your thumb. (Not supported on iPhone SE (1st generation).) Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, then turn on Reachability.

What's the point of reachability on iPhone?

Reachability is designed to bring down the entire top portion of the iPhone's display so it is within thumb's reach for one-handed access to apps and content. The feature is invoked by double tapping the Home button on other iPhone models.

What is reachability for?

Reachability is a neat feature that causes everything on the screen to 'roll down' so that the bottom half disappears off the bottom and the top half is brought within reach. Like this: This means you can thumb-tap items in the top corners with the same hand you're using to hold the device.
