Why Does my iPhone Screen Drag Down to Half Screen Sometimes?

My friend texted me recently asking one of those good iPhone questions that is difficult to search for:

“Sometimes when I swipe my home button a few times, the screen drags itself down to a half screen. What is the point of that?”

The iPhone screen dragging itself down halfway is a feature of iOS for the iPhone called “Reachability”. The idea of the feature is to help people be able to reach and tap items on the top half of the screen when using the iPhone with one hand. Double-tap the home button and the screen contents slide down halfway; double-tap the home button again and the contents slide back up.

On an iPhone X/XS/XR, slide down at the bottom of the screen to activate reachability and bring the top half of the screen down.

Reachability was added when the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus came out, with the larger screens. If you don't like Reachability sliding your screen down, you can fix it by turning Reachability off in the iPhone settings app:

iOS 13 and iOS 14:

Open the Settings app.

Select Accessibility > Touch.

Turn off the switch for Reachability.

iOS 12 and earlier:

Select General > Accessibility.

How To : Split the Screen on Your iPhone for Side-by-Side Browsing & Faster Multitasking

The iPhone has come a long way in its ten-year lifespan, but one thing still missing from the core user experience is native split-screen support. Sure, the displays on iPhones aren't nearly as large as an iPad's screen — which does offer "Split View" mode out of the box — but the iPhone 6 Plus, 6 s Plus, and 7 Plus are definitely big enough to use two apps at the same time.

Luckily, until Apple actually adds Split View support for iPhones (don't get your hopes up), there are a few workarounds for performing two different tasks side by side on your iPhone — with or without jailbreaking. First, we'll go over some popular apps in the iOS App Store available to everyone, then we'll get into the ones for jailbroken iPhones, which work better overall than their App Store counterparts.

Split View Apps in the iOS App Store

If you don't want to do any special hackery on your iPhone, and just want to use apps made for the iOS App Store, your choices are limited. While there are quite a few apps throughout the store made for split-screen use, most were made before the iPhone 5 and haven't been updated since 2010.

If you happen to be using an older iPhone, apps like iBrowse Duo , iNetDual Lite , and Mini Browser Pro will be optimized for your screen. Unfortunately, anyone with an iPhone 5 or later will notice black bars at the top and bottom of these apps—and they'll look even worse on Plus size screens.

These apps are also 32-bit apps that haven't been updated to support the 64-bit architecture on iPhone 5 s and newer models. Apple plans on dropping support for 32-bit apps when iOS 11 comes out , so these apps won't do you much good unless you have an iPhone 5 or lower, which will not even be getting an iOS 11 update.

So if you have a newer iPhone that will be getting iOS 11, there are three decent solutions you can pick up today, all of which are basically web browsers that give you two browsing windows. Not quite the Split View mode you were looking for, but good enough to help you multitask efficiently when you need it.

1. CoSurf: Split-Screen Web Browser for Two People

CoSurf is a free split-screen web browser (for iOS 8.2 and higher) that's a little different than the other ones on this list since it's designed to be used by two users, not just one. With the iPhone flat on the table, two people can use it to browse the internet — across from each other — without intruding each other's space.

It's an incredibly simple app (you can't do much more than surf and save your history), but it's remarkably intuitive. The app is quick, even with two people using it at once. If you pick the phone up, the app switches to single use, turning into a full-screen browsing experience. Put the phone back on the table, and it switches to split-screen mode.

Unfortunately, the app has some limitations; The user on the bottom half of the phone has more responsibility. Whenever one of the users needs to type, the keyboard only shows up on the bottom half of the phone, as it normally would, meaning the user on the bottom half has to do all the typing.

This, presumably, would cause the bottom half user to become very annoyed that he or she has to type everything . That, or they might elect to not type anything the top-half user wants, so choose your CoSurf partners wisely.

CoSurf has an interesting take on Split View mode, but it isn't for people looking to get serious work done. It's a fun, unique app that allows two people to use an iPhone at once and — for the most part — it works .

2. Split Screen Multitasking View for iPhone & iPad

While not the catchiest title, it definitely lets you know what to expect — Split Screen Multitasking View (for iOS 8.1 or higher) is another web browser that lets you split it into two panes. At $4.99, it's not the cheapest app on the App Store, but it performs very well in both portrait and landscape mode, and it lets you adjust the size of the panes via the middle bar.

This split-screen app also offers plugins which give the experience more customization and depth. For example, one plugin is designed to combine your social media apps into one of the two windows, allowing you to swipe through those apps while another browser window remains open on the top of the display.

Some of the extra features aren't quite as intuitive as just using basic split-screen mode, so it takes some playing around with, but this app definitely has a lot of options to choose from. There are also a lot of the standard web browsing features included as options, like private browsing, parental controls, and more.

The biggest issues with this app for me are not being able to pinch-to-zoom, and that the settings bar can sometimes stick around when you don't want it to. Still, these issues can be overlooked depending on how you're using your iPhone for split-screen multitasking.

3. Split Web Browser: Fast Multitasking & Full Screen Multiple Tab Browsing

Just like the previous app, Split (for iOS 6 or higher) is a web browser that lets you split your browsing experience into two screens. While it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles that Split Screen Multitasking View has, it does have one obvious advantage — you can have more than just two panes.

The app also can be used in landscape mode, which works well, if not better than portrait mode. It just feels easier browsing two webpages simultaneously when they are side by side like this, and Split handles the job smoothly.

On the surface, Split appears to be lacking many features you'd normally want in a browser. For example, you can't check your history (however you can make bookmarks). If you dive into the settings app, however, Split does offer a fair amount of customization. You can turn on private browsing, although there isn't a way to see your history in the first place. You can remove the loading bar when opening a webpage, and you can prioritize full-screen mode and desktop websites.

Without a doubt, the most notable change you can make is in the number of windows you can have open at once. Not two, not four, but twelve pages can be open simultaneously through Split. It's completely functionless, and you will not be able to browse in this mode, but you can do it just to say you did it.

This customization means you can change the way you have your windows oriented. If you prefer one row with two columns, which gives you a taller but narrower view than the default two rows and one column, you can set that. The customization is pretty open, something not seen too much on iOS apps.

Split View Apps for Jailbroken iPhones

If you're someone who doesn't mind getting their hands a little dirty , there are some interesting options for Split View in Cydia , the jailbreak version of the iOS App Store. The only problem is that they're basically all the same, so figuring out which one is right for you comes down to trying each one out.

All three apps featured here are built on the same ideas Apple used for the iPad's split-screen operations with, right down to the UI and execution; A couple of them mimic " Slide Over ," where you swipe from the right to bring up a window with all of your apps, allowing you to choose one to see alongside whichever app you are currently using while the other app is grayed out slightly. The other one mimics Split View, where you can run apps side by side without obstruction.

You can run any two apps you'd like side by side, and you can adjust the size of the second window, depending on your preference. They all give you the option to use the phone in landscape mode, which is arguably the best way to split the screen on an iPhone. All three apps can be downloaded for free.

Gorgone is compatible with iOS 9 and iOS 10, and mimics the iPad's Slide Over feature. The tweak was last updated March 12, so it should be relatively up to date.

2. Splitify

Splitify is not as up to date as Gorgone is, with its newest version released February 1. That being said, it isn't wildly outdated by any means and should work just fine on iOS 9 and iOS 10.

3. MultiView

You can download MultiView from the repo.sparkservers.co.uk repository. With an update released on April 10 , MultiView is the most up-to-date app out of the three here.

Steven... These are not first party apple solutions, they are third party created apps by other developers. Also, a lot of these (multiflow comes to mind) have been around before android added the ability in the latest firmware. It is also a jailbreak (cydia) app so it's not exactly supported by apple at all.

How to Disable/ Turn off Split Screen in Safari

Split-screen is actually a useful feature of your electronic device. You can view two different websites at the same time which sometimes is very handy. A split-screen is a common feature of the iPhone or iPad. You can open a Safari browser in a split-screen and carry out two different activities at the same time. However, this makes screen space smaller for both the tab. What if you want to watch a video on a full screen and you just cannot get rid of other instances of the screen. This is a frequently asked question of how I can turn off or even disable split screen while using safari on an iPhone or iPad. Today’s article is all about the split-screen and a tutorial on disabling it whenever not needed. 

• How to Turn off Split Screen in Safari from Current Tabs?

Safari is a popularly used browser on iPad and it supports split-screen and you can run multiple websites using the same safari browser multiple times. Let us assume that you are viewing two separate websites using the split-screen feature on your iPad. After some time you feel like you do not need the split-screen anymore and you want to return to the normal single-screen mode. Find out what to do in this segment.

• Go to the bottom-right corner of the screen which you want to keep intact and look for a double square-shaped icon overlapping each other (known as a tab icon ). 
• Press and hold the icon so that a popup option box appears. Now, select the Merge All Tabs option. That’s it, only the current tab remains and the other tab has disappeared.

Alternatively, you can click on the tab icon of the screen that you want to turn off and then tap on the ‘Close This Tab’ option. As a result, this tab closes and the other tab remains intact.

The question may come into your mind about how the screen was primarily split out. Well, multitasking and split-screen window are turned on by default on the iPad. So, the feature is always active; you are the one who chooses multiple tabs to be opened at the same time accidentally or willingly.

You could open split-screen in different ways. If you tap and hold on to a web link, the popup box will give you the option to open in split view.

Another way is by clicking on the tab icon remaining on the top-right corner of the safari browser (home page or search page) and then choosing the ‘Open Split View’. It is just the reverse method of turning off the split-screen.

You can also drag a particular web screen or app and place it beside the current screen. You can provide the same space for both the screen or you can give an advantage to one over the other just by dragging one screen. Turning off one screen can be done similarly- just by dragging one completely over the other one towards left or right. Do not drag from the upper portion where the web address is written. This way you are also able to turn off the split screen on your iPad.

Remember, the disappeared screen can be made reappear by dragging the current screen to create space for the other screen. So, you understand how easily one can go to the split-screen mode and revert to the normal screen mode with a few clicks or a simple dragging operation.

• How to Disable Split Screen in Safari From the Settings?

The above-mentioned technique does not permanently disable the split-screen feature. One can go in or out of the split-screen whenever required. If you feel that you do not require a split-screen anytime soon, then you may want to disable the feature from the settings of your iPad. Don’t worry, you won’t completely lose the feature; you will be able to turn it back on from this settings menu too.

Step 1: Go to the ‘ Settings ’ app of your iPad.

Step 2: Navigate to the ‘ Home Screen & Dock ’ option and click on it.

Step 3: On the right side of the screen, you will see the option, ‘ Multitasking ’, tap on it to enter its menu.

Now, toggle off (make the green button white) the ‘ Allow Multiple Apps ’ button.

Here we go; from now on, split-screen is disabled. And you can browse with the safari without having to share two separate screens on your iPad.

However, when you need to use split-screen again, navigate to this settings window and toggle on the multiple apps button.

The iPhone does not have an explicit split-screen feature. Rather, when you browse on safari and make the screen horizontal, only then an opportunity is  created to drag in another web screen or app  screen. The space created by the iPhone is in the horizontal position is used by the other screen to be incorporated here. You can simply go back to the usual vertical position and the split window is turned off automatically.

After reading this article, I am sure you will be able to learn not only to disable the split screen but also to enable it. Personally, I like this cool feature and I know you do also. Remember, it is better to use a split-screen keeping the device in the horizontal position as the screen gets wider and you can view website contents more easily on the safari browser .

How To Enable Full Screen Mode On Safari (iPhone)

To make Safari on iPhone take up the entire screen, you can hide the toolbar. This gives you a more immersive experience. Here’s how to enable full-screen mode on Safari:

Safari Full Screen on iPhone

Activating ‘full screen’ mode.

• Open Safari: Launch the Safari app and navigate to any webpage.
• Tap the “aA” Button: Look for the “aA” button in the top-left corner of the screen and tap it.
• Select “Hide Toolbar”: A menu will appear. Choose “Hide Toolbar” to make it disappear.

Now you’ll have more screen space to view the webpage. To bring back the toolbar, tap the bottom of the screen.

Additional Tips

• Use Reader View: For articles and blog posts, tap the “aA” button and choose “Show Reader View.” This simplifies the page layout, removing ads and distractions for easier reading.
• Zoom In: Double-tap with two fingers to zoom in on specific sections of the page.
• Customize Settings: In Safari’s settings (Settings > Safari), you can customize options like font size, background color, and auto-play settings to further enhance your viewing experience.

Troubleshooting

If you’re having trouble activating or using full screen mode, try the following:

• Restart Safari: Close the Safari app and reopen it.
• Restart your iPhone: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix glitches.
• Update iOS: Ensure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS.
• Check for Restrictions: If you have Screen Time or other restrictions enabled, they might be preventing full screen mode.

Get the Most Out of Safari

Method 1: using the toolbar button.

• Open Safari and go to the website you’d like to view in full screen.
• Locate the “aA” button in the top left corner of your screen (within the address bar).
• Tap the “aA” button to reveal a menu.
• Select the “Hide Toolbar” option. Your screen should immediately shift into full-screen mode.

Method 2: Landscape Mode

• Tilt your iPhone to rotate it into landscape orientation (horizontal).
• Tap the full-screen icon at the bottom right corner of the Safari window. It looks like two outward-facing arrows.

Bringing the Toolbar Back

To regain access to the Safari toolbar, simply tap the top of the screen where the address bar would usually be.

• Full-screen mode on Safari works best for websites specifically designed for mobile viewing.
• Some websites might have their own full-screen buttons that work differently.

Enjoy a distraction-free browsing experience with full-screen mode on your iPhone’s Safari!

Enabling Full Screen Mode in Safari

When using Safari on your iPhone or iPad, full screen mode lets you enjoy more screen real estate, offering an uninterrupted and immersive browsing experience. Here’s how you can maximize content viewing on your devices.

Access Full Screen on iPhone

On an iPhone, Safari provides a straightforward way to enter full screen mode. While browsing a web page, simply change your iPhone’s orientation to landscape. You’ll see a button with two diagonal arrows in the bottom right corner of the screen. Tap this button to switch to full screen mode, which hides the address bar and tabs, giving you a wider view of the content you’re exploring.

Full Screen Mode on iPad

For iPad users, the process is slightly different due to the larger screen. Safari on iPad doesn’t offer a dedicated full screen button like on the iPhone. However, you can achieve a full screen experience by hiding the toolbar. Swipe up on any web page to hide the toolbar and enjoy a more expansive browsing interface. Swipe down to bring the toolbar back into view when needed.

Navigating the Full Screen Safari Interface

Experience the web on your iPhone like never before by learning how to browse in full-screen mode on Safari. This section will teach you about Safari’s interface and how to make the most out of its full-screen capabilities.

Understanding Safari’s Interface

Apple’s Safari browser on iOS provides a clean and user-friendly interface. It has an address bar at the top where you can type in URLs or search queries, and a toolbar at the bottom containing navigation buttons and tools for managing tabs. When you switch to landscape mode on your iPhone, the option to enter full-screen mode appears, represented by two diagonal arrows, allowing for a more immersive browsing experience. In full-screen, Safari hides distractions such as the address bar and toolbar, so you can focus on the content.

Utilizing Safari’s Full Screen Features

To activate full-screen mode in Safari:

• Open Safari from your iPhone’s Home screen.
• Navigate to your desired website.
• Rotate your iPhone to landscape mode.
• Tap the full-screen icon (two diagonal arrows) in the bottom right corner.

While in full screen:

• Swipe down at the top edge of the screen to access the address bar and search functionality.
• Access open tabs by tapping the tabs icon, which minimizes the full-screen view and shows your open pages.

Exiting full-screen is just as simple; rotate your iPhone back to portrait mode, or tap the full-screen icon again. Full-screen browsing effectively utilizes the entire display of your iPhone, eliminating borders and other on-screen elements that could compete with the web content you’re viewing. This mode is perfect for reading articles, watching videos, or examining images without extraneous distractions.

Advanced Full Screen Safari Tips

Exploring beyond basic navigation in Safari on an iPhone opens up a host of options for savvy users. This section highlights techniques for viewing web pages in full screen and customizing the browsing experience on small screens.

Requesting Desktop Sites

In Safari, the demand for viewing full websites as on a Mac rather than their mobile versions continues to grow. Desktop Site functionality enables this, and Safari has made it increasingly straightforward. To request the desktop version of a website on an iPhone:

• Open Safari and navigate to the desired website.
• Press the Share Button at the bottom of the screen.
• Scroll down the list and tap Request Desktop Site .

Since iOS 13 , this feature has been optimized for users, ensuring that websites are scaled correctly for touch interactions on smaller screens. The pages sync seamlessly with iCloud across devices, so changes reflect on Safari on Mac too.

Creating Web App Shortcuts

With Safari on iPhone, users have the ability to create shortcuts on their home screen for quick access to their favorite websites. This simulates the experience of using a native app, all without the need to download anything from the App Store. To set up a web shortcut:

• Navigate to the desired webpage in Safari.
• Tap the Share Button .
• Select Add to Home Screen and name the shortcut.

The meta tag apple-mobile-web-app-capable in a webpage’s code indicates that the site is optimized for full screen. This tag tells Safari that the site is prepared to function as an application, making the user experience smoother and more integrated for iOS users. Starting from iOS 6 , this has become a commonly used feature, allowing for chrome-less browsing where the browser UI elements are not displayed, spotlighting the content itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

This section addresses some common questions about using full-screen mode in Safari on the iPhone to enhance your browsing experience.

How can I enable full-screen mode in Safari on my iPhone?

To enter full-screen mode in Safari, simply rotate your iPhone to the landscape orientation and tap the full-screen icon in the bottom right corner. If this option isn’t visible, ensure that screen rotation isn’t locked in your device’s Control Center.

Why isn’t Safari on my iPhone switching to full-screen mode?

If Safari isn’t switching to full-screen, first check that your iPhone’s orientation lock is turned off. Then, ensure you’re using a website that supports full-screen viewing as some websites might restrict this feature.

How do I hide the address bar in Safari on my iPhone to view websites in full screen?

Hide the address bar in Safari by scrolling up on a webpage, which allows you to view content in full-screen. The bar will reappear when you scroll back down.

What steps should I follow to view web pages in full-screen on Safari for iOS 15?

In iOS 15, full-screen mode is achieved by scrolling up on any webpage, which will hide the address and tab bars. To bring them back, simply tap the bottom of the screen or scroll down.

How can I use JavaScript to create full-screen experiences in Safari on iOS?

Full-screen experiences on Safari can be programmed using JavaScript by employing the Fullscreen API. However, this often requires user interaction – like a button press – to activate full-screen mode due to browser security settings.

What is the method to exit full-screen mode in Safari on an iPhone?

To exit full-screen mode, tap the screen to bring up the address and navigation bars, then tap the full-screen icon in the bottom right corner again. Rotating your iPhone back to portrait orientation will also exit full-screen mode.

How to Use Split View in Safari

Apple added Split View in Safari as part of multitasking on iPad when iOS 10 was introduced for iPad. Previously, you could only open up two different apps simultaneously on iPad using Split View. But it makes sense to use Split View in Safari since users often have multiple tabs open anyway—you might as well be able to view two at the same time. There are multiple ways to open and use Split View in Safari on iPad; here’s how.

The iPhone doesn't have a proper split-screen feature — but there are other built-in, multi-window options

• You can't split the iPhone screen to show two apps at the same time like you can on an iPad.
• But you can use Picture-in-Picture mode to overlay a video on a different app.
• It's also possible to quickly switch between recently opened apps by swiping up from the very bottom of the screen.

For many people, being able to split your screen is the very foundation of productivity, and the ability to display different apps on either side of the screen has been available on the desktop for decades.

The iPhone doesn't have a proper split-screen feature

While you can properly split the screen on an iPad and even some Android phones, a traditional, full-featured split screen isn't an option for the iPhone. 

All is not lost, though; you still have some options that give you some multi-window flexibility. 

How to use Picture-in-Picture mode on an iPhone

The iPhone might not allow you to split the screen between any two random apps, but you can display a floating video window over another app with Picture-in-Picture mode , so you can continue watching a YouTube video, for example, while reading a webpage in Safari or while working in Google Docs. The only requirement is that your iPhone needs to be running iOS 14 or later. 

To get started, make sure that the Picture-in-Picture mode is enabled. Start the Settings app, tap General , and then tap Picture in Picture . Make sure Start PiP Automatically is enabled by swiping the button to the right. 

Now you can start any Picture-in-Picture-compatible app and start a video. If you close the app, the video will continue playing in a smaller overlay window, which will appear on top of any other app you start. Many video players now support iOS's PiP mode, including YouTube, Netflix, Apple TV, and numerous others. 

How to fast-switch between apps on the iPhone

It would be great to be able to position two apps side-by-side on the same screen on your iPhone, but if you really need that, consider using an iPad . Even so, you can use fast app switching to rapidly alternate between iPhone apps you've recently used.

To do that, simply swipe up at the very bottom of the screen. Each swipe to the right and left from this screen cycles through a different recently opened app. If you are flipping through apps you don't want to see, you can close unwanted apps to make fast-switching more efficient and convenient.

How to fix the iPhone White Screen of Death

iPhones are extremely reliable devices, but even the best can experience trouble from time to time. One of the most feared problems is the so-called ‘White Screen of Death’, which keeps your iPhone stuck in a frozen state with only white light showing on the screen.  

Thankfully, this isn’t as permanent as it may first appear and can often be fixed through a variety of easy methods. We explain how to fix the White Screen of Death without the need for special tools or technical knowledge. 

If your iPhone has taken a tumble, then you might also want to read our What to do when an iPhone won’t turn on and How to fix a cracked iPhone screen guides.

What causes the White Screen of Death?

There are two main culprits when it comes to this particular ailment: software or hardware. Now, we know that practically all problems fall into one of those camps, but the White Screen of Death is known to be caused by either, which can make diagnoses a little more problematic.

On the software side of things, users often experience the WSoD (we’ll just keep it short from now on) if they’ve tried to install an update, or attempted to jailbreak their phone .

A failed installation, due to a corrupt file or something going wrong during the process, can easily result in the condition, but this is actually the best-case scenario, as it’s not too difficult to fix yourself.

The other suspect is a hardware problem, one that is normally experienced after the phone has sustained impact damage from being dropped. This can still be fixed by the user in some instances, but if the internal components have been damaged or any of the connecting cables have disconnected then you might want to visit the Apple Store to have it repaired professionally.

Restarting your iPhone

The first thing to try is simply restarting your device. The method for doing this varies, depending on the type of iPhone you’re using. As the device isn’t responsive, you won’t be able to use the usual combination of buttons to turn it off, because this also requires swiping the Power Off slider on the screen. So instead you’ll need to do something Apple calls a Force Restart. This won’t wipe any data or anything like that, but it should allow you to quickly power down the iPhone. 

How to force-restart iPhone 12, 11, XR, XS and X models

Press the Volume Up briefly, then release it and quickly move to the Volume Down for the same amount of time. After this, let go of the volume button and immediately press and hold the Side button on the right flank of the device. After about 10 seconds you should see the Apple logo appear, so release the Side button and your iPhone should reboot.

How to force-restart an iPhone 8 or iPhone SE (2020)

It’s a very similar method for these iPhones that feature Home buttons, due to the fact that the buttons are software controlled rather than the hardware versions found on earlier models. 

So, press and briefly hold the Volume Up button, then release it and repeat the process on the Volume Down button. Release the latter then immediately press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo appear. Stop holding the button and your iPhone should reboot. 

How to force-restart an iPhone 7

It’s slightly different on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, as you need to press and hold both the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake (Side) buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. Release both and your iPhone should restart.

How to force-restart an iPhone 6s or iPhone SE (2016)

For users of these older models, the process is as follows. Hold down the Home button while also pressing and holding the Wake/Sleep button that’s found either on the right side (iPhone 6s) or top edge (iPhone SE) of the device. Wait until you see the Apple logo appear, then release both buttons and your iPhone should reboot. 

Using Recovery mode with your Mac or PC

If resetting your iPhone doesn’t solve the problem, you can always try plugging it into your Mac or PC to use Recovery mode and reinstall iOS. 

Using Recovery mode on macOS Big Sur or Catalina

In older versions of macOS, you would have used iTunes to recover your iPhone. But, since Apple ditched the ageing software in Catalina, you’ll need to use Finder instead for newer iterations of the Mac operating system. 

To do this, plug your iPhone into the Mac, open Finder and select the iPhone from the sidebar. Depending on the type of iPhone you have, here’s what to do next:

iPhone 12, 11, X, XS, XR, 8 or SE (2020) models

As when restarting the device, as outlined above, you’ll need to press and release the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button, followed immediately by pressing and holding down the Side button. After a few seconds you should see the Restore page appear, which looks like a Mac with a Lightning cable underneath. 

Go back to your Mac and you should see new options have appeared: Update or Restore . Click Update and your Mac will now try to reinstall iOS on the iPhone, leaving the user data and files in place. 

iPhone 7 or 7 Plus

Press and hold both the Volume Down and Side buttons at the same time and you should see the Recovery mode screen appear after a few second. Then, go to your Mac and select the Update option to reinstall iOS. 

iPhone 6s or earlier

Press and hold both the Home and Side or Top buttons at the same time until you see the Recovery mode screen appear. Then, go back to your Mac and select the Update option to reinstall iOS. 

Using Recovery mode with iTunes

If you have a Windows PC or Mac running macOS Mojave or earlier then you’ll be able to use iTunes to put your iPhone in Recovery mode. 

Connect the iPhone to your computer with a cable, then launch iTunes. You should see your device appear at the top of the screen with a little icon. Click that to open up the iPhone page. 

Next, you’ll need to use some button combinations on your iPhone to enter Recovery mode. These vary slightly depending on the type of iPhone you’re using. These are the same as those outlined in the previous section, so follow the steps to get your iPhone back up and running. 

Using DFU mode

Should neither of the above options give you any joy then you can try entering the Device Firmware Update (DFU) mode. This differs from Recovery mode in that it doesn’t allow the iPhone to start its boot loader or iOS, but is still able to communicate with iTunes or Finder. 

Using this technique you can restore the iPhone to its original settings, then use your iCloud or iTunes backups to reload your data.

Entering DFU mode is something of a challenge, and there’s a good chance you might get it wrong due to the arcane combination of buttons presses and times required to enter the mode. We’re not sure why Apple makes it so tricky, but give it a few goes and eventually you should be able to repair iOS.

On iPhones up to and including the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus you can follow our How to use DFU mode to rescue an unresponsive iPhone guide.

If you have an iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X or later then the method is as follows.

First off, connect your iPhone to your PC/Mac using its Lightning cable, then launch iTunes or Finder and click on the iPhone icon. Now, press the Volume Up button briefly, do the same with the Volume Down button, then press and hold the On/Off button on the right side of the iPhone until the screen goes black.

Keep the On/Off button pressed down, but now press and hold the Volume Down button again. Count to five then release the On/Off button, but keep the Volume Down button depressed for a further ten seconds or so. The screen should be black, so if you see the Apple logo appear at any time it means you’ve accidentally gone into Recovery mode.

On your PC/Mac you should see a message from iTunes or Finder saying that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, and giving you the option to Restore iPhone. Click this and hopefully you’ll have a fully working system when the process completes.

To exit DFU, just use the button combination for your device which would normally put it in recovery mode.

Time to take a trip to the Apple store

If, after all these routes, you still can’t get the iPhone working again then it looks like you have a hardware issue. While you can find several guides to fixing these online, we’d recommend booking an appointment at the Genius bar, at least to work out what’s wrong.

Hopefully it won’t be fatal, but if you find it is you can at least peruse the latest handsets available while you’re there. Be sure to also check out our best iPhone deals , iPhone 13 rumours , and Best iPhone: Which is the one for you? guides.

WhatsApp Has a Major Security Flaw

Safari's Split View is a new feature in iOS 10 that allows you to view two Safari windows side-by-side on your iPad. It’s similar to the Split View feature that was added to iOS 9 , but specifically for Safari.

NOTE: This feature only works on iPad, not iPhone, and it only works in landscape mode.

Related: How to Use Multiple Apps at Once on an iPad

One major difference between iOS 9’s Split View and Safari’s Split View in iOS 10 is that you can’t adjust the size of the two Safari windows. Each window takes up exactly half the screen and that can’t be changed. However, Split View in Safari is still a useful feature and we’ll show you how to invoke and use it.

There are two ways you can invoke Split View in Safari. First, tap and hold on a link on a webpage and then select “Open in Split View” from the popup menu.

The second method works if you have multiple tabs open. You can drag a tab to the right until it separates from the main window. Then, lift your finger from the screen.

Using either method will result in two Safari windows, each with its own address bar, tab interface, and toolbar (at the bottom rather than the top). Each window operates separately, like two apps, but it’s still one app. For example, you can tap the tabs button on the toolbar at the bottom of one of the windows to manage the tabs in that window.

Related: How to Close All Tabs at Once in Safari in iOS 10

The tab view interface displays in that Safari window, and you can tap the plus icon to add a new tab, tap “Private” to convert that window to private browsing mode, close any tab, or close all tabs at once .

Once you’re in Split View mode, you can open links on one Safari window in the other window. To do this, tap and hold on a link and select “Open on Other Side” from the popup menu.

In our example, the link in the left window is opened on a new tab in the right window.

In Split View, you can move tabs between the windows by dragging a tab from one window to the other. When you move a tab from one window to the other, the tab’s history is retained, allowing you to use the forward and back buttons to navigate through the history of that tab.

NOTE: You can only drag tabs between the two Safari windows when they share the same status, meaning you can only drag tabs between two private windows or two regular windows. If you have one private window and one regular window, you cannot drag tabs between them. However, you can use the “Open on Other Side” option to open a link on a private window in the other regular window, or vice versa. The new tab opens in whichever mode the receiving window is in.

When you’re in Split View, you can go back to one Safari window in a couple of ways. You can drag tabs one at a time from one window to the other. When you drag the last open tab in one window to the other, Safari returns to single window mode automatically.

A quicker way to go back to a single Safari window is to tap and hold on the tabs button in either Safari window. Select “Merge All Tabs” from the popup menu.

All your tabs from both windows are merged into a single Safari window, and the toolbar moves back to the top.

When you go back to the Home screen from Safari, or even force close Safari, the app will remember where you left off and reopen in Split View along with all the tabs you had open in the status (private/regular) you had set.

Is your iPhone screen black? Here's the fix

An injection of life.

Have you ever placed your iPhone on charge overnight and woken up to a black screen? Or taken your iPhone out of your pocket and been shocked when the iPhone screen is black and won’t respond? 

If so, you’re in the right place. Here’s the easy fix for whenever your iPhone screen is black and won’t respond.

With over three years working at the Genius Bar as an iOS technician, I've seen many iPhone users stuck on a black screen. Luckily, most of the time, it's just a visual bug that can be easily fixed in just a couple of minutes.

How to fix a black iPhone screen

If your iPhone doesn’t respond when you touch it, and the screen is black or unresponsive, there’s an easy fix to get even the best iPhones back to normal.

iPhone 8 or later, including SE (2nd and 3rd generation)

• Press and release the volume up button
• Press and release the volume down button
• Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo

Tip: Make sure to quickly release the button and move to the next button in the sequence. If you hold the button too long, you'll have to start again.

iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus

• Press and hold the side button and the volume down button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo

iPhone 6s or earlier, including iPhone SE (1st generation)

Master your iPhone in minutes

• Press and hold the home button and the side button until you see the Apple logo

If your iPhone screen went black overnight, this should fix the issue. It’s one of the easiest iPhone fixes and something that can happen regularly to any iPhone, so it’s good to remember these simple steps. 

If following these steps doesn’t fix the black screen on your iPhone, you’ll need to go further into figuring out what’s wrong with your device.

My iPhone screen is still black. What do I do next?

You’ve tried all the steps above, and your iPhone screen is still black. Now, you’ll need to troubleshoot a bit further to get to the root of the issue.

Try changing your charging cable and brick, as one of the two might no longer work, and your battery could be completely dead. If you leave the iPhone on charge for an hour and the screen is still black, you must contact Apple Support to run diagnostics and fix your issue.

There are many reasons why your iPhone screen might turn black, and unfortunately, this can sometimes include the failure of key components inside your device. At that point, you may need to bring your iPhone to Apple or a third-party expert for a repair consultation. But following this simple guide should get you back on Apple TV Plus or Apple Music in no time, most of the time.

Getting Started with Apple Intelligence

Many More Features to Come

An Extraordinary Step Forward for Privacy in AI

Text of this article

September 9, 2024

Helpful Writing Tools, Mail and notifications summaries, a more natural and flexible Siri, the Clean Up tool in Photos, and many more Apple Intelligence features roll out in the U.S., with additional English-language support coming later this year

Today, Apple announced that Apple Intelligence , the personal intelligence system that combines the power of generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence that is incredibly useful and relevant, will start rolling out next month with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, with more features launching in the coming months. In addition, Apple introduced the new iPhone 16 lineup, built from the ground up for Apple Intelligence and featuring the faster, more efficient A18 and A18 Pro chips — making these the most advanced and capable iPhone models ever.

Apple Intelligence first launches in U.S. English, and will quickly expand to include localized English in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K. in December, with additional language support — such as Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish — coming next year.

Apple Intelligence is deeply integrated into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, harnessing the power of Apple silicon to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks — all while protecting users’ privacy and security. Many of the models that power Apple Intelligence run entirely on device, and Private Cloud Compute offers the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple silicon servers. The first set of Apple Intelligence features will be available next month, delivering experiences that are delightful, intuitive, easy to use, and specially designed to help users do the things that matter most to them.

With Writing Tools, users can refine their words by rewriting, proofreading, and summarizing text nearly everywhere they write, including Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party apps.

In Photos, the Memories feature now enables users to create the movies they want to see by simply typing a description. In addition, natural language can be used to search for specific photos, and search in videos gets more powerful with the ability to find specific moments in clips. The new Clean Up tool can identify and remove distracting objects in the background of a photo — without accidentally altering the subject.

In the Notes and Phone apps, users can record, transcribe, and summarize audio. When a recording is initiated while on a call in the Phone app, participants are automatically notified, and once the call ends, Apple Intelligence also generates a summary to help recall key points.

Apple Intelligence helps users prioritize and stay in the moment with summarized notifications across apps, Reduce Interruptions — a new Focus that surfaces only the notifications that might need immediate attention — as well as Priority Messages in Mail, which understands the content of emails and surfaces time-sensitive messages. Across a user’s inbox, summaries convey the most important information of each email instead of simply previewing the first few lines. Smart Reply in Mail provides users with suggestions for a quick response and identifies questions in an email to ensure everything is answered.

Siri becomes more natural, flexible, and deeply integrated into the system experience. It has a brand-new design with an elegant glowing light that wraps around the edge of the screen when active on iPhone, iPad, or CarPlay. On Mac, a user can place Siri anywhere on their desktop to access it easily as they work. Users can type to Siri at any time on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and can switch fluidly between text and voice as they use Siri to accelerate everyday tasks. With richer language-understanding capabilities, Siri can follow along when users stumble over their words and can maintain context from one request to the next. In addition, with Siri’s extensive product knowledge, it can now answer thousands of questions about the features and settings of Apple devices. Users can learn everything from how to take a screen recording to how to easily share a Wi-Fi password.

More Apple Intelligence features will roll out later this year and in the months following. Image Playground will allow users to create playful images in moments. Image Wand will make notes more visually engaging by turning rough sketches into delightful images. When a user circles an empty space, Image Wand will create an image using context from the surrounding area. Emoji will be taken to an entirely new level with the ability to create original Genmoji by simply typing a description, or by selecting a photo of a friend or family member. Siri will be even more capable, with the ability to draw on a user’s personal context to deliver intelligence that is tailored to them. It will also gain onscreen awareness, as well as take hundreds of new actions in and across Apple and third-party apps. Plus, users have the option to access ChatGPT’s broad world knowledge from several experiences within iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, allowing users to access its expertise — as well as its image- and document-understanding capabilities — without needing to jump between tools.

Apple Intelligence is designed to protect users’ privacy at every step. A cornerstone of Apple Intelligence is on-device processing, and many of the models that power it run entirely on device. To run more complex requests that require more processing power, Private Cloud Compute extends the privacy and security of Apple devices into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence. Private Cloud Compute marks a fundamental breakthrough in server-based intelligence. When using Private Cloud Compute, users’ data is never stored or shared with Apple; it is used only to fulfill their request. Independent experts can inspect the code that runs on Apple silicon servers to continuously verify this privacy promise and are already doing so.

In addition, for users who choose to access ChatGPT through Siri or Writing Tools, privacy protections are built in — their IP addresses are obscured, and OpenAI won’t store requests. Users can access ChatGPT for free without creating an account, and ChatGPT’s data-use policies apply for those who choose to connect their account.

Availability

Apple Intelligence will be available as a free software update. The first set of Apple Intelligence features will be available in beta next month as part of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, with more features rolling out in the months to come. It will be available on iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and Mac with M1 and later, with device and Siri language set to U.S. English. Additional languages and platforms are coming over the course of the next year.

With Apple Intelligence, iPhone users will finally get a better Siri

Will Siri finally become useful? That’s the promise Apple laid out today at its “Glowtime” event , where the company introduced its iPhone 16 lineup — its first new iPhones to ship with AI-powered functionality, courtesy of Apple Intelligence and, later, a partnership with ChatGPT maker OpenAI.

While consumers won’t get the full impact of the Siri upgrade until Apple Intelligence launches, Apple promises it will upend the user experience by making the iPhone not just a small computer that fits in your pocket, but also a small personal assistant powered by AI.

In the near term, Siri will see more immediate improvements, including the ability to type questions to Siri instead of speaking and to engage in more natural conversations — including the occasional stumble — thanks to its richer language understanding. You’ll also be able to change the wake word for Siri through a new accessibility feature.

Developers are gaining access to SiriKit, which allows them to integrate Apple Intelligence-powered features into their own apps, the way that Apple has integrated Siri with first-party apps like Calendar, Mail, Notes, Safari, Files, Contacts, Voice Memos, Photos, Books, Freeform, Files and others.

Even Apple’s AirPods are getting an upgraded Siri experience, as users will be able to nod or shake their heads in response to Siri announcements.

To showcase its new AI functionality, Siri will receive a cosmetic makeover in iOS 18. Instead of a glowing orb at the bottom of the screen when activated, Siri will light up the edges of the iPhone in an eye-catching illumination. This will appear when Siri is active on the iPhone, iPad, or CarPlay.

Unlike new iPhones, Apple Intelligence — meaning the best of Siri’s upgrade — will be a slower rollout. Apple says the first set of features will be available in beta next month, with more features rolling out in the coming months. U.S. English will initially be supported, followed by localized English for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the U.K. Sometime next year, it will reach users who speak Chinese, French, Japanese and Spanish before expanding to others.

Other Apple Intelligence features like Writing Tools, Mail and Notifications summaries, and a Clean Up tool in Photos will also arrive in beta starting next month across iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1.

Apple Intelligence will superpower Siri

When Apple Intelligence arrives, Siri will be able to help with questions and commands that deal with its understanding of you and your needs. It will gain a better understanding of your personal context, allowing you to reference things like a song you streamed, an email you reviewed, a calendar appointment, or a text, for instance, instead of only responding to simple commands like “call Mom.” That means you’ll be able to ask Siri about your meeting and what the weather will be like at the meeting’s location, too, or do something like instructing it to send an email you had drafted.

“With Siri’s personal context, understanding and action capabilities, you’ll be able to simply say, ‘Send Erica the photos from Saturday’s barbecue,’ and Siri will dig up the photos and send them right off with new ways to express yourself and read them memories, along with tools to help you prioritize and focus so you can get more done,” noted Apple SVP of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, at today’s iPhone announcement. “Apple intelligence is going to transform so much of what you do with iPhone. Apple Intelligence will be available as a free software update,” he said.

Siri will also be able to offer tech support, as its understanding of your Apple products, features, and functionality will be improved.

It will be able to help you in other ways an assistant could, too, by way of its on-screen awareness.

For instance, you’ll be able to tell Siri to add a friend’s address to their contact card after they text it to you, or ask it to edit a photo with a filter or drop that photo into another app. If a friend texts you about a new album, you can say “play that.”

You could also add a set of photos to an album using Siri, or send them to a friend. And you can have Siri summarize a transcript of a recording.

On iPhone 16 Pro models , Apple suggests that Siri’s new capabilities will be great for photographers, who will be able to ask Siri to pull up a specific shot from their library and then apply the Edit to the photo in an app like Darkroom, or even use Siri to quickly get suggestions on “how to enhance the space and achieve their vision,” the company said on Monday.

The bigger Siri upgrade, however, may not come directly from Apple, but from OpenAI, announced earlier this year at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference .

With the arrival of Apple Intelligence, Siri users will have the option to pose their questions related to “world knowledge” to ChatGPT instead of being frustratingly directed to the web for those questions it can’t answer.

The partnership with OpenAI helps Apple get ahead in the AI race, where it’s perceived to have fallen behind, but without taking on the responsibility or the reputational hit that comes from when AI gets things wrong or hallucinates an answer.

In time, Apple is expected to announce more AI partners as well.
