iPhone X Reachability Missing?

[Ste84]

Evening all

First day with my iPhone X and I’m loving it. However one feature I didn’t realise I would miss and didn’t think I used often but must have is reachability

Anyone else finding this?
Anything you guys miss from your older iPhones

Just enable it.

Settings > General > Accessibility.

Toggle it on and swipe down over the Home bar.

Cheers!! Thanks so much

Gotta update to 11.1 - no complaints at all from me once reachability works

Reachability is nowhere to be found in my General Settings

Accessibility.

yup that's where I'm looking. NOTHING

What's beneath 'Face ID & Attention' in that menu?

You have to update to 11.1 to access it. It is a little bit trickier to enable than before, but I’m starting to get the hang of it.

[doublepost=1509762645][/doublepost]Phone is nice. Screen is great. But these new gestures are a mess.

It works like **** unless that input section is there.. But other than that, thsi phone is forcing you to make exact movements or else nothing happens.

The problem is the area needed to execute these effectively are both very narrow and blind (unmarked).

I’ve been able to access it from higher than the actual bar. You don’t have to be super precise.

OP you might need to update.

Have to agree with you. The placement of the control center access is just stupid. Reachabiltiy rarely works. They better figure out some better options for folks or let the third party brainiacs do it!

It was the hardest of the new gestures for me to master, but after a couple minutes of trial and error practice I can do it pretty consistently now.

I found the key for me was to touch near the bar, and hold there briefly (like half a second or so) before dragging down.

All I can say is that on 11.1 it is there. I just enabled it and tried it a bunch of times. Didn’t work once out of about 15 so for me it seems pretty intuitive and easy to use. Not sure I need it but it’s an option.
