Since its introduction with iOS 5 in 2012, Assistive Touch has become one of the most practical and helpful features on the iPhone. One reason for this is that it can be used as an alternative for all of your phone’s physical buttons. In fact, you can use your iPhone with a broken Power button with Assistive Touch. Since the iPhone does not have a physical Back button, the Home Button also gets worn out over time. Fortunately, you can use Assistive Touch to save your phone’s Home button from wear and tear and to save you from repair costs for Home button replacements. The latest iPhones have the Assistive Touch enabled by default. If you accidentally turned it off, this article will show you how to enable Assistive Touch on iPhone.

You can still fully use your iPhone without the Power button. In fact, lock, unlock, reboot and other functions that typically involve using the Power button can actually be done without it. If you want to know how to use your iPhone without the Power button, then you just landed on the right page.
