iOS 18.1 and Reachability

[adambadamh]

Has anyone figured out how to reliably get Reachability working with the new type to Siri having a very similar gesture?

I have had the Reachability accessibility setting on for as long as I can remember Apple offering it (allow you to swipe down near the bottom of the screen to get the whole screen to drop down for better one-hand use). With the new type to Siri setting of double tapping the home bar I frequently am triggering that vs just getting the screen to drop.

No issues here. I swipe from a centimeter or two from the bottom of my screen. For example, in Safari (with the address bar at the bottom), I swipe down from the address bar or from the buttons below it. On the Home Screen, I swipe down from the dock. I don’t try to touch and swipe the home bar itself.

Same for me. No issues with it!

Yes I’ve also noticed swiping from bottom doesn’t return screen back to normal the way it used to. I now have to retrain muscle memory to hit the up arrow above The screen when lowered to raise it back

I use the Tapback feature to make use of Reachability. It works a lot better than swiping.
