[Trainer-Talk] iPhone with no home button

[Kelsey Nicolay]

Well, I did hear the bump when I was trying it on the other person's device, but then as I tried to slide up, I got the explore by touch sound. Everyonem at kes this sound so asy, yet I'm pretty advanced with technology but can't figure this out for the life of me. What every everyone's thoughtf on using back tap for this gesture? Ivemessed with it on my Se and it actually works quite well, so I was urious in your experience if this would be a reliable substitute for the gesture.
