Lightly tap home button twice on iPhone 6 and it slides the screen down, why does it do this ? Don't full press just lightly tap.
iPhone 4
Its so you can access the top of the screen easier if your finger/thumb can't quite reach

Actually it is because of the reachability. If you want to reply to a message you can still pull it down even if you don't lightly tap the home button.
Yup, that was the answer that was given two years ago.

Why are you replying to a three year old post with an answer that's been given several times already?
You can turn that feature off if you don't like it ...Go to Settings>General>Accessibility> Scroll Down all the way to Reachability and set to Off.
Sorry guys but you're all wrong. The double tap feature on the home button is meant for replying to text messages when you are in an app and you get a message you can double tap the home button and slide the message down further so you can read the entire message instead of just part of it and also reply to it either by typing or with the voice to text microphone icon. It is an extremely helpful feature especially when you're playing a game and you are on level 10 about to beat the game and get a text message that you have to reply to immediately so now you can without closing out the game and losing your unsaved progress.
THis reply seems more logical..i tried that when my message notification was Alert and it didn't happen then it was changed to banners option also I didn't find any differences..would u guide Us that What should we do exactly?which notifications should be allowed?

Sorry kylefromgilbert, but you're the one that's wrong here. It's not only meant for replying to text messages. Yes, it is helpful for situation you described but it is used for many things.Try it on any screen or in any app and you will see that the screen will slide down. The feature is called "Reachability" and is specifically designed to do more things one handed.
Yes of course first go to settings and then select notifications and from there change your message notifications to banner and then when you double tap not to be confused with double clicking it will let you drag the message down and read the whole thing as well as respond. It is called reachability mode, and in response to the last reply regarding this you are right. It is also used for that as well but I don't find it very helpful on the iPhone 6 but does come in quite handy on the 6 plus bc it's so big.
Due to some people having small hands the double tap lightly on the button else to bring the screen down to your phone so that you can reach the app this is for the people who are using only one hand if this is helpful please like thank you
Asking for points is poor taste, a violation of TOU, and wasted when responding to a 2 year old post.
No. You're also very wrong. If you get a text message, on iOS ten, you already are able to do that. It's for reachability. Hence, that's where it's located. Could you get any more native?
