Tips for Your iPhone Home Button

By admin · Comments (1) · Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

Today, we have some tips for your iPhone, since so many are using their iPhones to take pictures.

Your iPhone’s home button has a whole bunch of uses that vary depending on your location and how many times you press it in succession. Here’s a look at (practically) all of them.

Single Press

Pressing the home screen button once while on your first home screen page will take you to the search page. When on the search page, pressing it will take you back to the first page. If you’re on the second, third, fourth page (or higher), a single press of the home button will return you to the first page. When your phone is locked, a single tap will bring up the lock screen. If you’re in an app, pressing the home button will take you to the home screen (surprise!). Finally, if you press and hold the home button you’ll initiate voice control.

Double Press

Pressing the home button twice while on the lock screen will bring up your iPod controls. Doing that on any other screen will bring up the multitasking bar where you can access apps and settings.

Triple Press

Triple press is reserved for accessibility options. You can set them as you like by going into Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Triple-click Home.

    This actually helps a lot, I didn’t know I could use the home button to bring up ipod controls. I have been unlocking by putting in the code – opening iphod – pressing next. This saves a bunch of time!
