The AssistiveTouch feature on iPhone allows you to perform a wide variety of actions, without the need to use buttons or gestures.

Once the AssistiveTouch Icon is enabled on iPhone, it provides access to a variety of features, including a Virtual Home button, which basically performs the same functions as a physical Home Button.

In-fact, the AssistiveTouch Icon can be programmed to work like a Virtual Home button on single-tap and provide access to AssistiveTouch Menu on double-tap.

Step 1. Add AssistiveTouch Icon

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch > On the next screen, move the toggle next to AssistiveTouch to ON position.

Enable AssistiveTouch on iPhone

You should now see the AssistiveTouch Icon appearing on the Home screen of iPhone.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch > Single-Tap > tap on the Home option.

In addition to using Assistive Touch Icon as Virtual Home Button, you can program the AssistiveTouch Icon to provide access to Accessibility Menu on Double-tap.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch > Double-tap and select Open Menu option.
