After installing iOS 16, a new search button on the home screen catches your eye. On all iPhone models (from iPhone X and later), you’ll now find the new search function between the last row of apps and the dock. With a single click of the button, you can start the search on your iPhone. However, it is questionable why this is useful. Because: If you slide your finger down from the middle of the screen, the search function will also open.

Do you find the double search function on the home screen unnecessary? Fortunately, you can disable this feature. To do this, go to Settings. Under Home Screen, you can then activate the slider next to Show on Home Screen.
