How to use iPhone Duo Reachability in iOS 27.3 beta

Apple has introduced Reachability support for the iPhone Duo in the iOS 27.3 beta, making it easier for users to access content on the large internal display. This feature addresses concerns about using the phone with a single hand. The iPhone Duo boasts a sizable screen, but users may still find it inconvenient to reach all areas with just one thumb. With the iOS 27.3 developer beta, this issue is now resolved.

The Reachability function temporarily relocates either the left or right side of the screen to the other side through a brief swipe. This adjustment ensures that every part of the interface remains accessible with one hand, including the iPhone Duo itself. The feature has been available for years on other iPhone models, enabling users to easily access the top portion of the display with their thumb. However, in the iPhone Duo, Reachability is utilized to extend the user's reach horizontally instead of vertically.

To activate this feature, users need to open Settings, go to Accessibility, then enable Reachability. Once enabled, a short swipe to the left on the left edge of the screen will bring the opposite side's content closer to the left side. Similarly, a short swipe to the right on the right edge of the main display will shift the screen's content to the right.
