Is there anyway to change 'Reachability'?

[Noble Actual]

Apple showed of this feature in the keynote where you can double tap the Touch ID and the page drops to the bottom making it easier for 6/6 Plus to use one handed.

The thing is, I ordered the iPhone 6 instead of the 6 Plus because I could easily still use it one handed.

Do you think under Accessibility under Settings, Apple will allow you to change what double tapping the Touch ID does. I rather it be for access to multitasking than reachability since I don't need it.

Hope there's at least the option. Apple seems to have open up with iOS 7 and 8 so maybe?

Well technically, you "suppose" to be able to reach with iPhone 6 (not plus).

I love that feature as well. Might have to JB it later to get it.

You're not actually pressing the button in. The actual double tap is still for multitasking. To get the "one handed mode" you're only tapping on the home button lightly without pushing the button.

Think that's what he meant; soft double tap rather than actual double tap for multitasking.

I highly doubt they will allow you to change the functionality of the double tap. I'd say 99.99% chance they won't.

Double Tap (Mutli-tasking)
Double Touch (Reachability)

2 Very different things there

I know.

I don't wan't to push the Touch ID button twice.

I just want to lightly tap twice for multitasking to open.

Apple lets you change the triple tap function in Accessibility settings, I don't see why they wouldn't let you change this one as well. And really, Reachability could probably be considered an accessibility function also.

I doubt Apple will let you change it.

That said, there are JB apps that let you do this I use Activator.

Hopefully in future Apple will incorporate more stuff like this since Touch ID is so handy in that fashion.
