On what iPhone model exactly?


Why don't you want to press the home button?


On iPhones running iOS 11, you can tap and hold on the left edge of the screen until an app appears and then drag it towards the center of the screen to bring up the App switcher. Then just swipe the app up and off the screen to close it.
