How to Get Back to Your Homepage on Mobile

🏠 Scruffy’s Digital Journy — How to Get Back to Your Homepage on Mobile

Hi, I’m Scruffy. Christopher explained that the homepage (or home screen) is like the front door of your mobile. At first, I thought once you opened an app, you were stuck inside it. But Christopher reminded me: with one gentle press or swipe, you can always return home safely.

🌀 What Going Home Involves

• Home Button (Older Phones): Tap the round button at the bottom of the screen.

• Swipe Gesture (Newer Phones): Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.

• Press and Hold Option: On some phones, pressing and holding the home button can bring you back or open quick tools.

• Back Button: If you’re inside an app, tapping “Back” may also return you to the home screen.

• Predictable Safety: No matter where you are, there’s always a way back to your homepage.

  
  

🖱️ Scruffy’s Homepage Challenge   "Christopher gave me a challenge to practice. You can try it too:"

1. Open any app on your mobile (like Messages or Settings).

2. Tap the Home button or swipe up from the bottom.

3. Notice how the screen returns to your homepage.

4. Try pressing and holding the home button to see extra options.

5. Practice until it feels predictable and safe.

   
   

✨ Scruffy’s Reflection   At first, I thought apps trapped you inside. But Christopher reminded me: the homepage is always one step away. For learners, that means you can explore confidently, knowing you can return to safety and clarity — all with Scruffy guiding you gently.
