Reachability different apps

You can easily use your iPhone with 1 hand. Swipe down at the bottom of the screen. Now, your iPhone only fills half of the screen. This works with the start screen, settings, and every app you use. This way, you can open apps that are at the top of your screen with your thumb. It also allows you to reach navigation options at the top easier with 1 hand.
