How to Add Touchscreen Home Button on iPhone, iPad

 

The home button is the biggest button on iOS devices and probably the most important one. It's a great example of what makes the iPhone and iPad so easy to use - that single button will always take you to the homescreen no matter what you're doing. On many Android devices, home is a software button that disappears inside apps, leaving you feeling stuck, but the physical home button on iOS devices is always there.  

This can really make using the device frustrating, particularly if you're using an older device that doesn't support gestures. If you're facing the same problem, then you should enable the software home button option on your iOS device. This is how you do it:

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to General > Accessibility
3. Scroll down to the section labeled INTERACTION and tap on AssistiveTouch.
4. On the next screen, toggle AssistiveTouch to the green On position.
5. A white circle with a grey box will appear on screen. Tap this circle to expand it to a big box on screen. The square Homebutton at the bottom of the box functions exactly like the physical home button - you can use it to single tap, double tap, or long press the home button even if there is a hardware problem. The grey box remains visible and usable in all apps.
