No home button, no problem: Navigate around your iPhone's busted bits
No home button, no problem: Navigate around your iPhone's busted bits
2016-10-04
as CNET's resident oath I smashed my
iPhone 6's so well that the home button
broke off completely if you are like me
and unwilling to pay actual money to fix
your problems or if you're just waiting
for the next upgrade to find iOS is
assistive touch to be a great workaround
for broken or unresponsive buttons to
activate assistive touch go into your
settings scroll down to general scroll
down again to accessibility scroll down
one more time to assistive touch toggle
on here this little button will pop up
when your screen if you tap it you've
got your home button back but with the
sister touch you've got a bunch one of
that you can open up your control center
pull down your notification center you
go into device you can put your volume
up volume down take a screenshot bring
up multitasking you can open voice
control change screen orientation and
lock the screen if you find the buttons
in the way you can move it just by
sliding it this will restore
functionality that you may have lost
through broken mute power and volume
buttons and can tide you over until it's
time to get a phone that actually works
and it doesn't have an embarrassing
story behind it
