Using Side sense
The Side sense bar makes it easier to use your device with one hand. You can display the Side sense menu by double-tapping the Side sense bar on the edge of the screen, or return to the previous screen by sliding your finger across the screen. Make sure to tap or slide your finger within the Side sense bar.
Note
Side sense is unavailable in certain situations, such as when Ultra STAMINA mode is activated, or when the screen view is in landscape orientation.
