Multi-Touch screen
A few simple gestures—tap, drag, swipe, and pinch—are all you need to use iPhone and its
apps.
3D Touch
With iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, you can use 3D Touch to see previews, find useful
shortcuts, and more.
For example, in Mail, press a message in the mailbox list for a peek at the message
contents, then slide up to see a list of actions. Or press a little deeper to pop the message
open. In Photos, press to peek at an image; then swipe up to share or copy it, or press a
little deeper to pop the image to full screen.
In some cases you can press an item to get a Quick Actions menu. For example, you can
press the Camera icon on the Home screen, then choose Take Selfie. Or press a name in
Messages, then choose to create an email message, make a voice or video call, or send a
message.
3D Touch lets you vary the pressure when you draw to change the quality of your lines (in
some apps). For example, press as you draw in Notes to make a line darker. See Create a
sketch. You can also use 3D Touch to turn your keyboard into a trackpad and select text
when typing. See Edit text.
Among other things, you can use 3D Touch to:
View or get information about a location by pressing a pin or an address in Maps. See
Get more info.
View the contents of a playlist in Music by pressing the playlist. See For You.

Buttons
Sleep/Wake button
When you’re not using iPhone, press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPhone. Locking iPhone
puts the display to sleep, saves the battery, and prevents anything from happening if you
touch the screen. You can still get phone calls, FaceTime calls, text messages, alarms, and
notifications. You can also listen to music and adjust the volume.
On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6s Plus, the Sleep/Wake button is on
the right side:
On iPhone SE and iPhone 5s and earlier, the Sleep/Wake button is on the top edge:
iPhone locks automatically if you don’t touch the screen for a minute or so. To adjust the
timing, go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock.
Turn iPhone on. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Unlock iPhone. Press either the Sleep/Wake or Home button, then drag the slider.
Turn iPhone off. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the slider appears, then drag
the slider.
For additional security, you can require a passcode to unlock iPhone. Go to Settings >
Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other
models). See Use a passcode with data protection.
Home button
The Home button takes you to the Home screen and provides other convenient shortcuts.
On the Home screen, tap any app to open it.
See apps you’ve opened. Double-click the Home button when iPhone is unlocked. See
Start at home.
Use Siri or Voice Control. Press and hold the Home button. See Make requests and Voice
Control.
On iPhone 5s and later, you can use the sensor in the Home button to read your fingerprint,
instead of using your passcode to unlock iPhone or Apple ID password to make purchases
in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. See Touch ID. If you have iPhone SE,
iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, or later, you can also use the Touch ID sensor for authentication
when using Apple Pay (in countries where Apple Pay is supported) to make a purchase in a
store or from within an app. See Touch ID and Apple Pay.
You can also use the Home button to turn accessibility features on or off. See Accessibility
Shortcut.
Volume controls
When you’re on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons on the
side of iPhone adjust the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume for the
ringer, alerts, and other sound effects.
