Reachability in your iPhone helps you bring any window down so its top section can come to the middle of the screen. This lets you access the upper area of the window easily.
However, due to the absence of the Home button in iPhone X, it works differently for many functions, and Reachability is among one of them.
Where in earlier models of iPhone you could double-tap the Home button to get the top of the opened window to the middle of the screen, there’s a different way to get this done in iPhone X.
Here’s how:
Turn On Reachability
Tap to enable the Reachability toggle button. This enables the Reachability feature in your iPhone X.
Use Reachability in iPhone X
Swipe the Gesture Bar down. This brings the top of the opened window to the center of the screen, thus giving you easy access the icons or options that are at the upper section.
Note: Swipe the Gesture Bar up to get back to the normal mode.
