I figured I’d try this out on my 8+ just to see how it works since my Max is on the way.

When I turn it on in settings, it says to double-click the home button to bring the icons down where I can reach them, but when I double-click my home button, my settings list pops up, and nothing at all happens with my icons.

What am I doing wrong?
 
It works differently with no home button, but should give you an idea of how it will look.

On the Max you’ll have to do it differently. You’ll have to pull down on the bottom.
 
Thanks! Tried it - pretty cool. I’ll have to figure it out on the Max - hell, I’m gonna have a LOT to learn on the Max - but I can see how that would really help if I absolutely needed to use one hand.
 
never had a problem either.. my girlfriend just was watching me use my phone one day.. and noticed that I did it several times when I was doing something.. She never knew about it.. Long story short, I use wayyy more than I thought I did
