- If your screen is locked, you cannot use the “AssistiveTouch” circle. Therefore, press the lock button located in the top right corner or top right side of the device to display the “AssistiveTouch” button or circle.
- Many users activate the "AssistiveTouch" button/circle so that the physical Home button on the device is not easily worn out.
