Customizing Your AssistiveTouch Experience (Because One Size Doesn't Always Fit All)
The beauty of AssistiveTouch is its customizability. You can set the single tap function to act as your home button, letting you navigate with ease. Here's how:
- Tap on the little white AssistiveTouch button.
- Tap on Single Tap.
- Select Home.

Feeling Fancy? You can also set double-tap and long-press functions for other shortcuts, like taking screenshots or opening the Control Center.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
So You've Conquered the Missing Home Button! Now What?
