iPhone question…

I usually hold my iPhone with my left hand and type or click with my right. If I want to go back a page, it’s easy to flick with my left thumb.

When I hold it in my right hand, is there a way to flick the page back, using my right hand?

Inquiring thumbs want to know.

LOL ... I'm a lefty .... hold the phone in my right hand. I stay logged out because I sometimes hit the user ID on the left side when scrolling and accidently pull up their profile.... logged in they'd know I visited in their history .... don't want them thinking....

Whata d**k

I hold the phone in both hands while typing and use both thumbs.

You can move around the screen twice as fast, pinch zoom is also cake that way.

Yes, but holding the phone in your right hand, how do you swipe right with your thumb?

First world problem I know. 😂

Your thumb only moves in one direction?

Haha!

Maybe my phone is not set up right. With me holding it in my right hand, I cannot reach far enough to the edge of the left side screen with my thumb to flick it to the right.🤪

OK, so you are saying you are using an iPad as your phone or.......



Sorry, couldn't resist.

You can't hold the phone in the middle, you have to hold it on the lower third so that the bottom of the phone is almost resting in your cupped palm.
