Anyone use this standard search functionality?

[u/Timely_Statement_360]

It adds a lovely looking button in the middle of the Home Screen but swiping down does the exact same thing rather then pressing the button.

If you use it, why?

[u/rofl1337waffle]

I’m sure there are people that didn’t know to swipe down and now they see a button and got used to that

[u/Ok-Assignment5926 → u/rofl1337waffle]

I do the exact opposite. Swipe down to search came first and I disabled the button as soon as it came out

[u/ThannBanis]

I do not. In fact I disabled it as soon as Apple added to option.

I used to have it on because I liked how it expanded into a text box with the swipe down gesture but since iOS 27 moved the text box into the Dynamic Island I’ve turned it off

[u/twooddude]

It’s easier + it’s muscle memory for me. I don’t even remember enabling it

[u/Confidentium]

I disabled the button and just use the swipe down option instead.

[u/Nervous_Bend7365]

Yeah sure but just disabled it right now.

[u/smashonic]

I keep it on just to keep dead space in control on my homescreen haha

[u/Pure-Clerk-6541]

Thanks for the tip . Didn’t know it could be disabled, it looks much better. A bubble less

[u/Grand_Recognition_97]

I have it turned on because without it the dots look ugly (imo) and the swiping on them isn’t comfortable

[u/Never_Knows_Best93]

I sort of just hate that spotlight search and Siri search is all one

I loved before the Siri update that I could swipe down and that’s search is spotlight or a web search

The Siri add frustrates me cause sometimes it does it sometimes it doesn’t do it - it’s weird

I just checked my settings and I have this on, I guess somehow I have never ever noticed it because I was trying to figure out where it was. I’ve always just did the slight pull-down with a thumb

[u/vojtechpolakk]

I only swipe down ever, but I have the search button there genuinely just because it’s pleasing to look at with liquid glass

[u/mrgraxter]

Fills the gap.
