GUIDE How to completely remove home button delay on iOS 11

[C DM]

We are already in the later days of iOS 11. We have almost reached iOS 11.2 final. iOS 11.3 isnt going to wave a magic wand and fix all these issues. Maybe iOS 12 will be the new iOS 10. We can hope

Yes, 2 months later we are in the later days of iOS 11. Kind of like iOS 10.3 that came out just a couple of months after iOS 10 was released.

I mean there's the typical silliness, and then there's just this kind of silliness that goes even beyond. How can anything be taken even remotely seriously after that?

10.3 fixed the issue in iOS 10, so why couldn't 11.3 fix it in iOS 11?

10.3 fixed the issue in iOS 10, so why wouldn't 11.3 fix it in iOS 11?

Because on iOS 10 they were tweaking the home button throughout the iOS 10 cycle. They havent even touched the delay on iOS 11.

That's the convenient narrative that makes sense to push now because it can be made to fit and support the existing bias. It can always be revised and deflected later when the reality might turn out differently, as has happened plenty times in the past.

Maybe because they were working on 3D Touch first, which is fully fixed in 11.2.

Well we will find out soon enough. But I am not getting my hopes up.

So guys, is there delay of Home button?
I suggest to try enable and then disable Zoom feature in Settings even if it's disabled already.
Maybe it's random bug on my phone but delay was completely resolved on my phone.
I should definitely try to restart my phone and see if delay will reappear.

Theres 2 types of home button delays and you are confused between them. Let me explain

Clean Install iOS 11 vs iOS 10 has zoom disabled and home button is slower on iOS 11 by default and that cant be changed. However in this video you just now posted the home button response has always been instant. Cancelling the animation using the home button is instant on both iOS 10 and 11 but going to home screen after app has loaded has a lag.

You can adjust the home button click speed in accessibility but the fastest setting on iOS 11 is still slower than on iOS 10. If you have zoom enabled then the home button will be dramatically slower which is what you were having. You are now finding it super fast but its in fact still slower than on iOS 10.

I find that hard to believe, already 3 separate people have stated its off by default, and that number will surely rise if this thread stays on the front page.

It’s not enabled on my 8+ either.

Thank you for explanation.
I got it - Zoom feature is not enabled by default.
But I never enabled Zoom feature before and my phone was so slow after upgrading.
Now it's so responsive.

Must have been a bug while upgrading but thats not what that 70 page thread was about. Anyways enjoy your faster button

Let me grieve the loss of my fast iPhone 7 home button in peace

What fun is that when we could squeeze out another 70 page thread about it?

The lag you are referring to is not the lag that people are experiencing. Enabling any accessibility triple-click shortcut will slow down the process as its waiting to see if you are going to triple click or double click. But, the lag that is being referred to is when you click the button once, nothing happens for .25 seconds when exiting an app and returning to the home screen. They are different.

Isn’t a quarter of a second about the time an iOS Device needs to wait to determine if your going to click the home button a second time to bring up the multitasking screen?

Yes but the iPhone 7 and 7+ on iOS 10 do not wait for the second click. The close app animation happens instantly. The physical buttons always have had a slight delay.

They changed back the capacative buttons to match and wait like the physical ones in iOS 11.

Can we please not go through this illogical wringer again?

It's definitely gonna happen

Whatever this 'bug' is, it's only on the 7 models. I'm not seeing it on my 6S+, neither is it apparent in this video.

Clean install iOS 11 does not have Zoom enabled and this is how it behaves on iOS 11. Home button delay is not fixable by user

You realize animations have gotten a lot faster since 11.0.1?

 

[eicca]

Never in my life have I heard SUCH a first-world problem. If you hate your stupid home button so bad, why don’t you sell your phone and donate the proceeds?

 

[tromboneaholic]

It doesn’t happen on iPhone 6 or IPad Air 2 (delay under iOS 11).

 

[riteshritesh]

I didn't enable it by myself and never used it but Zoom feature was enabled in my phone.

Mine was on too, and I don't remember turning it on ever. Turned it off, even though never noticed any lag as such.

 

[Radon87000]

The animation speed is irrelevant. There is a delay starting the animation in the first place on iOS 11.

No there is not. At least not for iOS devices with a mechanical home button.

So basically they fixed the bug that was in iOS 10 that didn't wait for the 2nd press on the iP7.

Not a bug. It was a decision to how they wanted it to behave I believe.

I think they wanted to show that the 7 was faster than the 6S and all previous physical home buttons so they made it instant response. Initially it caused a few hiccups with the multitasking animation but they smoothed it out by 10.3.3.

Enter iPhone X. Now they might be wanting to show that swipe to up is the fastest way to close apps and interact with iOS which it is because they delayed the home button again with all the capacative home buttons.

It wasn't a bug. They wouldn't keep it that way all the way throughout iOS 10. I'm still on 10.3.3 on my 7 and I've compared it to an 8 at the store. My 7 is so much faster with interacting with iOS going in and out of apps. The 8 felt so herky jerky. It's night and day. No way I'm upgrading. And definitely not upgrading to an iPhone 8/8+. I would go for the X to have the instant response again but I don't have the dollar bills for it right now and my 7 is working perfectly.
