Half Black screen in Safari iphone 6 This is not a reachability issue**

Hi Guys

Was surfing the net this morning and for some reason Safari has limited my view to half screen, the remaining is in black. This is nothing to do with reachability I can use this by tapping and not clicking the home screen, it works fine. I cannot seem to expand the screen or pull it down. It is also nothing to do with bookmarks on half the side of screen just in case that questions was posed. Any suggestions???

Thank you for your time.

I have this problem myself, and it is not the reachability option. It really is an hard bug and should not happen.

Safari zooms in and goes to the upper corner of the screen. it looks like this:

Does anyone else know how to fix this? And is Apple aware of this problem?

When you double-tap (NOT press down, but tap) the home button it lowers the top portion of the screen, in case you can't reach something with one hand. Double-tap to revert back.

It's a feature called Reachability, designed to make the larger phones easier to use one-handed.

Sometimes that work other times it creates a double of the double screen. Resetting my phone seems to be the best answer when this happenss

Just found another post about this and think mine is likely to be caused by General - Settings - Accessibility - Reachability, which was switched on.
