      Tips

      • If your screen is locked, you won't be able to use AssistiveTouch. Press the Lock button on the top-right or upper-right side of your iPhone's housing to display the AssistiveTouch button.
      • Many users enable AssistiveTouch to reduce wear on the iPhone's physical home button.
