Assistive touch is one of the helpful features on iPhone, if not the most useful. Assistive touch on your iPhone helps you perform more actions with fewer taps on your screen, and it also makes controlling your iPhone easier. The feature also works perfectly for those who do not like using the iPhone’s buttons very frequently. The iPhone is one of the most user-friendly and easy to use smartphone ever.
The Assistive touch increases the durability of your iPhone’s buttons since they are used less frequently. With the Assistive touch on your iPhone, you can perform almost all functions on your iPhone without even pressing any of the buttons. You can even increase and decrease your iPhone’s volume, open Siri, take a screenshot, restart your iPhone and even lock your device using Assistive touch. Now that a new iOS update (iOS 11) has been launched, iPhone and iPad are stronger than ever. Now, you can do a lot more with your phone. You can also make more customisations on your iPhone and even perform more functions. Now on the iOS 11, you can change the visibility of Assistive touch on your iPhone.
