iPhone X Left hand mode for iPhone X?

[Codybby1]

Hi everyone, I received my X Monday and being a lefty I was wondering if it is possible to change the control center to be accessed from the top left corner? I can't comfortably reach it with it's current config.

Not a huge deal, but one of those little quirks I've noticed. I also noticed when holding the phone comfortably with my left hand puts my index finger right on the camera lens. That drives me nuts.

Aside from that, I've been rockin' the 6s for a couple years and finally had a reason to upgrade.

I’m also a lefty and wish they’d add the option to launch control center from the left ear. It would make it so much easier!

using the reachabilty gesture, i can get to control center one handed.. left handed

try that feature if you haven’t already

I’m a lefty and haven’t really thought about that but it is hard to reach for me.

Hi I just got my X and immediately have the same issue. No love for us lefties. I don't like it at all returning it and keeping my iphone 7+ . Also noted that without any margins around the screen my finger/thumb "edges" block out part of the screen when I hold it in my hand. It just doesn't feel like a $1000 upgrade.. (also i just finally got it going after not being able to restore a backup from my 7+ until I upgraded OS, then found out my backup is pwd protected when i never set one...and i can't reset it without the old pwd!!!FFS!!)

..and when I do "reach" for command center with left hand it obstructs view of screen!

I'm a lefty as well but I can also write with my right hand and use my right hand, so technically I can use both hands. So don't have issues with the current set up of where the control center or the notification center is placed.

When you say you are a lefty, do you literally mean you are left handed? Or just use your iPhone with your left hand?
The reason I ask is I am right handed but almost always use my phone with my left hand
Have never really thought about it

How about it people... are you right handed or left handed and which hand do you use your phone with?

Anyway, I agree with the previous poster, the reachability gesture is really handy [pun intended]

I'm left-handed and use the phone with my left hand. I find it easier to stretch my thumb to activate CC, than to consistently invoke reachability. I guess I need more practice.

I’m left-handed, but use my phone in my right hand.

I’m left handed, but I hold the phone in my right. However, I was so used to my 6+ that I had in a folio case, I now hold phone in my right and navigate/type with my left, so that makes it easier. Im a 2-handed phone person.

I can nav with my right thumb and put my most used icon within reach of my right thumb

I am right handed but hold my phone with either hand, which ever is convenient.

Left hander here. Got used to just doing tech stuff with my right hand a long time ago. Use a right handed mouse (get an ambidextrous design for less grip preference issues), and use your phone with your right hand, life will be easier for you once you're used to it. For everything else, I use my left hand.
