Odd iPhone 6 Home screen behaviour

I've just got a new iPhone 6. I noticed this odd Home screen. The whole thing has slipped down 2 rows. I found I could repeat this fairly consistently by lightly stroking down the home button. It takes a few attempts but it works eventually. I'm on iOS 8.2. Swiping left (& right) shows the other screens in the same slipped-down manner. Swiping up on the screen puts it back to normal. Any one have any idea what's going on?

It's a feature called Reachability. It brings the home screens down a bit to make it easier to operate the bigger phones with one hand.  You activate it by double-tapping (not pressing) the home button. You can turn it off if you don't want it by going to Settings-General-Accessibility.

  • Custom Icon for iPhone Home Screen

    Does anyone know if there's a way to upload an icon to the site so that people can add it to their iPhone home screens? Thanks!

    Hi!
    If you use Business Catalyst you can use the file upload to put the file apple-touch-icon.png to the root. iPhone will then recognize this file when you create a shortcut.
    You can also access your Muse files via FTP (I'm on a Mac and use Cyberduck), and upload the file to the root there.
    Tip: Create your icon in 300x300 pixels with 327 dpi. This will make the icon look really sharp and great on Retina displays.

  • Cannot move applications to previous pages from iPhone home screen

    This is a recent issue that I just noticed today. When I press and hold on an app from my iPhone home screen, I can move it around within its own page, or move it to succeeding pages. However, the phone will not allow me to move the app to a PREVIOUS page! It quickly tries to move to the the left, until it resets itself on the current page its on. My only way around this is to synch the apps from iTunes. Has anyone else been experiencing this bug?

    Thanks for the advice, but this still does not work. Again, I've had no problems moving apps between home screen pages until now. This seems to have occurred right after downloading an app from the app store today. I'm running OS 3.1.2, and the phone will literally "pull back" an app I'm trying to move to a previous page, whether I move it to any previous page (currently using four pages of apps at the moment). It will let me move an app to a subsequent page, but then it's stuck there (i.e. it cannot be moved back to the page I moved it from). The only way to move it back is through iTunes. What the heck is going on here?

    1. Is there a way you can point me in that direction? if not, Is apple coming out with an option with this feature?
    No. That would violate to terms of usage for the forums. We would be in big trouble. Speculation of unannounced features s also not allowed.
    2.Then in getting the software, will it void my warranty?
    Yes, hacking the iPhone voids the warranty.

  • IPhone home screen is zoomed in and will not zoom out. How do I get it back to normal?

    My iPhone 6 home screen is zoomed in and will not return to normal, How do I get it back to normal?

    If that did not work, then try triple-tapping the home button. If that does not work, then double-tap 3 fingers and hold on the screen, dragging to change the zoom level. If you need to move the screen around to be able to access something to get the device unlocked, then use 3 fingers to drag the screen around after trying to change the zoom level.

  • Dot shaped widget in iphone home screen

    I'v seen an iphone 6 in one of the showrooms. it has dot floating on the home screen whcih show certain shortcuts when touch, how can I enable this on my phone I'v searched the internet for this and I didn't find any mention about it.

    Hi ahmed@apple, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like Assistive Touch may have been enabled on the iPhone 6 you saw. 
    You can turn on this feature by going to Settings > General > Accessibility, and turning on AssistiveTouch. 
    See the article below for this step and more information about Assistive Touch:

  • IPhone Home Screen Identifier?

    Does anyone know if/what the identifier (variable) is for the iPhone homescreen? For instance on the BB the home screen was always 'bbhome'; is there anything like this on the iPhone?
    Thanks

    Anyone have any ideas? Maybe a better example will help...... A background running app can grab things like lock/unlock events, does anyone know of a way that it could identify if the user was on the homescreen and not in another app?

  • Iphone Home Screen button

    So, recently my iphone fell straight into a toilet, literally completely submerged, everything surprisingly works except the home screen button, so I would have to turn of the phone and turn it back on, recently though it starts to work amazingly, but then sometimes it wont, its like 50/50, when it got wet also there was a problem with the dock icons sensing but when I brought it to the mac store they fixed it by, tightening the wires?, if I bring it to the mac store could they fix the home-screen button, its so weird because it works and then it sometimes doesn't?

    There are moisture senors in the headphone socket and the base socket which will now be red.They will take one look at that (they do this first), and then point out that the warranty has been voided by immersion.
    You only option will be an out of warranty replacement for £149.

  • Defaulting to iphone home screen

    Has anyone noticed since the latest upgrade of iphone 1.1.1 that when you are using the browser or itunes store that sometimes the screen will momentarily freeze and then switch by itself to the Home screen (icons)? I was using the browser this morning and when I tapped on a link, instead of going to that link it went to the phones home screen as if I had pressed the Home button, which I didn't. Same thing happened a few minutes ago when I was using the itunes store.
    anyone seen this happen? Any fix that you know of?
    thanks,
    Gary

    Try a Reset by pressing/holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until seeing the white Apple logo which forces a system restart. This does not affect any data or settings.

  • I cannot download apps throught the search bar on my iphone home screen....does anyone know how

    Does anyone know how i can make it so that i can download apps throught the search bar on my home screen?

    You are full of surprises.
    That search bar is for searching your iPhone, not the App Store.  Use the App Store app to search for, purchase and download apps.

  • IPhone Home Screen Switching Freeze, Anyone Else Notice This?

    If you try to scroll between your multiple home screens and you touch along the bar at the bottom (where phone and email and such are) the screens will stop moving. Say you are halfway between two screens and you touch it the screen will stop scrolling. It is annoying if you are switching screens and your palm touches the bottom of the screen you have to take your finger of and restart scrolling.

    Yes, I noticed this the other day but didn't make a connection with the US holidays. Odd quirk.
