Where is the back button on iphone 5?

Hi, new to iphones.
When I open an app like email, text message,  often I find there is no way to go back one screen other than hitting the home button to end the app.
Am I missing something here?
Is there a back button like Safari has but for the phone operating system?
Thanks

For Mail and Messages it's in the top left corner and it is usually labeled with the page your going to go back to. There is no back button like Safari in those apps.
Hope that helps.

  • Where is the "Back" button on 4s?

    Well, I have about 1 week left on my new iPhone 4s for testing having just come off two years using the Samsung Galaxy S.  On any Droid phone there is such a thing as the Back button which makes life infinitely easier just getting out of apps and stuck pages.
    How do you users manage without such a button on the iPhone?  There are many times that when reading a article from a website like "WSJ" you are stuck with no obvious way to get back to the begining to the main page.  If someone sends you an email with a link to a youtune video you cannot go back to the email from where you started; you must hit the Home button and start again.
    Unless I am missing something, I do not know how to get around without a "Back" button!
    Any help is defintely appreciated and will help me decide positively on the iPhone.
    TIA,  Sol

    I agree, managing without a back button makes no sense. Is there a back button? Double tapping the home button twice doesn't work when review music and starting over is not resonable. 

  • Where is the delete button on iphone 4 for the removal of photographs /

    Can anyone tell me where the delete button is for removal of photographs on iphone 4 ?

    For photos in your camera roll, photo stream and other photos in folders you created on the camera, select the photo, the select the trash can icon below it.
    For photos you synced to your camera from your computer, you have to deselect the photo on the computer and sync again.

  • Where is the restore button for iPhones on the new version of itunes

    I have bought an iPhone 4 which was on orange ee.
    The friend has paid them to unlock it and they confirmed it has been done but my voda sim shows no service.
    The instructions from ee mention restore from iTunes but the new version doesn't appear to have to have this button.
    Can someone let me have the process for resetting a network unlocked phone through iTunes.
    Cheers

    I need to add to this that when I connect to iTunes the screen just brings up a message sim needs activating but I tried the sim in a voda iPhone and it works so the sim is good

  • Where did the "back-button listbox" go?

    It used to be (firefox 3.xx) that I could click a little arrow and choose to go back in my recent browsing history as many pages as I had viewed on the current tab. Now (firefox 4) I have to click back one at a time. How do I get the little listbox to come back up?

    I solved the problem. Now it is a right-click which triggers the appropriate response.
    Thanks.

  • Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

    Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

    That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
    Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button <br />
    or <br />
    right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
    Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

  • First time going to a site where I do not have access and clicking the back button I'm returned to the root site instead of the site I started from

    Greetings,
    I have SharePoint 2013 enterprise using ADFS for authentication.  I have an issue where the first time going to a site where you do not have access and clicking the back button you're returned to the root site instead of the site you
    started from.
    ie:
    1) at site http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/home.aspx
    2) browse to
    http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/private/home.aspx
    3) receive a message: you do not have access to this site  ((oops went to the wrong location - I'll hit the back button))
    4) click the browser back button
    5) get returned to http://www.sharepoint.com/pages/home.aspx
    This only happens the first time browsing to a site that I do not have rights to, after this I can browse to the same site and hit the browser back  button and return to the correct site, or any other site that I do not have access to.
    Any ideas as to why this happens?  Ideas of where to start looking?
    Thanks

    Hi Robert,
    From your description, when you receive access denied message and hit back button in browser, it redirects you to the root site but not previous site. However, this just happens at the first time.
    You may try to use some tool or check log which can tell us how does it handle the request when you hit the button. And compare the issue time and non-issue time.
    I'd suggest you use Netmon tool:

  • How do i move the reload page button in firefox OSX to beside the back button where it was before i updated.

    how do i move the reload page button in firefox OSX to beside the back button where it was before i updated.
    i know there is a classic theme addon for windows but i need a fix for osx...its very frustrating when you update and things like this change and cant be customized back to the way we are used to using the browser. its counter intuitive to have the refresh page button so far away from the back and home buttons.

    Is Classic Theme Restorer only for Windows? I thought it worked on Mac, too. Some of the pre-selected interface items like the Application Button may match old Windows versions and you may need to deselect those in its Settings dialog.
    To access that dialog, you can use the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Command+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions, the on the right side, look for the Options button below Classic Theme Restorer.

  • Unable to go back to where I ieft off after clicking the back button

    When I browse photos in Smugmug, after selecting the gallery I want, when I am finished and I click the back button it takes me back to the beginning of the galleries and not where I selected the last gallery or photo. IE and chrome don't do this.

    Let me see if I can make this more clear. In Smugmug I browse galleries and scroll down a page until I see a gallery I want to look at. I may have scrolled down past several hundred galleries before I select a gallery to look at, so I am quite a ways down. Anyway I select the gallery and it opens and I browse all the photos. When I am finished I go to the top and click the back button. If I am using IE it takes me back to the point where I selected the gallery I looked at. However, in firefox if I click the back button it takes me back to the beginning of the gallery and I have to scroll thru all the galleries again and find where I left off.

  • Instead of hitting the "back" button on the toolbar, where is the drop down to go back 2-3 pages?

    I used to be able to go back a few pages at a time until the latest upgrade. Now, if I click the "back" button on the toolbar I can only go back 1 page at a time. This doesn't always work and I have to go back to my original starting point which could be 10-15 click back ... is there anyway to get the option to go back multiple pages like before or can I just not use certain web pages anymore?
    thank you!

    Use this to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • All of a sudden it seems firefox has forgotten where it is all the time. All my bookmarks and rss feeds are gone and a lot of times it forgets my saved usernames and passwords. The back button has ceased functioning as well.

    It just started out of the blue, its like it just forgot everything I've done since I downloaded it years ago. Plus the back button doesn't work anymore. It's like it has constant amnesia.

    Sounds that some SQLite database files are corrupted.
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.<br />
