PROBLEMS COVERED

1. Adjust button sensitivity
   
2. Turn on the Assistant Menu
   

Instead of a physical button, newer phones have an on-screen Home button that is always available. Treat this Home button just like any other physical one: simply press it. If you are having trouble unlocking your phone or if the Home button is too sensitive, do not worry. We will show you how to adjust it and explain some other tricks.

Important: Adjusting the button sensitivity is not available on phones with in-display fingerprint scanners.

PROBLEM 1: Adjust button sensitivity

SOLUTION 1:

On certain models, you can adjust the Home button sensitivity. From Settings, tap Display. Swipe to and tap Navigation bar, and then tap Hard press Home button. You can adjust the slider from Lighter to Stronger, depending on your sensitivity preference.

PROBLEM 2: Turn on the Assistant Menu

SOLUTION 2:

The Assistant menu is designed for individuals with motor control or other difficulties. By using Assistant menu, you can access hardware buttons and all parts of the screen simply by tapping or swiping.

From Settings, tap Accessibility. Tap Interaction and dexterity, and then tap Assistant menu. Tap the switch to turn it on. A floating icon will appear at the bottom right portion of the screen.

Tap and hold the icon to move it around the screen. Tap the floating icon to access the Assistant menu; you can open the Home or Recent apps screens, go back to the previous screen, adjust the volume, power off your phone, and much more. Finally, tap the screen anywhere outside of the menu to close it.
