Hi Louise, The Action Button can only do one thing, but there is a lot of choices.
Apparently, you could download a shortcut to make it work as the home button, but that won't address getting to the app switcher. ON my web site, I attempt an explanation of the gestures for home and app switcher. It is an audio file. Gestures for Home Screen, App Switcher, Control Center and Notification Center with no home button Here is an MP3 recording to try to help those new to phones with no home button. It is about four minutes in length. https://www.turner42.com/GesturesWithNoHomeButton.mp3 HTH, Richard, USA, "When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly." -- Barbara J.

My questions are: a. What are the gestures for both getting to the home screen as well as app switcher? b. If you move a finger up to the app switcher part of the screen, do you move your finger down to close the app and return to the home screen? c. Is it possible to set up the action button to perform a number of tasks or only one task at a time as arranged in settings? I received a guide from Apple accessibility on gestures for version 18.0 though it doesn’t address my above questions. Thanks for your expert opinions in advance. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
