What settings need to be adjusted in order to access alternate bottom bars on an iPhone?
How to Change the Bottom Bar on iPhone
If you’re looking to spice up the appearance of your iPhone, you may have considered changing the bottom bar. The bottom bar, also known as the dock, is a permanent fixture on the iPhone that holds your four most used apps. Luckily, changing the bottom bar is a simple process that only requires a few easy steps.
Step 1: Choose Your Apps
The first step in changing the bottom bar on your iPhone is to choose the apps you want to feature in your dock. Keep in mind that the default setting only allows for four apps, so choose wisely! You’ll want to select the apps you use most frequently and ones that are essential to your daily routine.
Step 2: Move Your Apps
Once you’ve selected your apps, it’s time to move them to the bottom bar. First, locate the app you want to feature and hold your finger down on it. After a few seconds, all of your apps will jiggle. This is when you can drag and move the app to any location on your screen.
When you’ve found the perfect spot for your app, slowly drag it towards the bottom bar, until the bar expands to make room for your app. Release your finger, and the app will immediately move into place.
Step 3: Rearrange Your Apps
If you’ve already filled all four slots in your bottom bar, but you still want to swap out an app, you can rearrange your dock apps. Simply hold your finger down on the app you want to move and drag it to a new location, either inside or outside of the bottom bar. This will automatically move the app in the dock to where the other app was, and add the new app to the bottom bar.
Step 4: Delete Apps from the Bottom Bar
If for any reason you need to delete an app from your bottom bar, hold your finger down on the app and move it up and out of the bar. Release your finger, and the app will disappear from the dock. However, this doesn’t delete the app from your phone, only from the bottom bar.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Updated Bottom Bar
That’s it! You’ve successfully changed the bottom bar on your iPhone. Now you can enjoy a customized dock that suits your needs and style.
Tip: If you want to go one step further, try adding widgets to your home screen for even more customization!
Changing the bottom bar on your iPhone is an easy way to add some personalization to your device. By following these simple steps, you can curate a dock that showcases the apps you use the most. Just remember to choose wisely, as space is limited in the bottom bar!
