Tip: here’s a much more fun way to invoke Reachability on iPhone X
On older iPhones, Reachability can be used by tapping the Home button twice.
On iPhone X, Reachability requires that you swipe down over the Home indicator at the bottom or, alternatively, swipe up and down quickly from the bottom edge of the screen.
Another way to use Reachability on iPhone X
Reachability, disabled by default, is an accessibility feature.
1) Go to Settings → General → Accessibility.
2) Slide the toggle Reachability to the ON position to turn it on.
3) With Reachability enabled, begin swiping up from the bottom of the display as you would if you were to use the app switcher. As soon as iOS starts scaling down the currently active app into its own card, swipe down rapidly without lifting your finger.
And that’s it, Reachability should now activate.
Here’s a video from a Reddit poster showing this secret gesture in action.

TIP: To exit Reachability, swipe up from the bottom of the display.
Reachability brings the furtherest edge of the display into reach, which lets you use your phone in one-handed mode. When activated, it pushes onscreen content halfway down so that you can reach buttons and other user interface controls more easily with your thumb.
You can also access Control Center or Notification Center when Reachability is active by swiping down from the middle-center or middle-right section of the screen, respectively. The feature does not work in landscape mode.
Reachability is supported on any iPhone model from iPhone 6 onward.
