Implement prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden in your root view controller. Apple's HIGs say this should only be done temporarily like for a full-screen presentation. The Photos app does it when you enter full screen display. It shouldn't be left hidden for long periods.


Also you need to call setNeedsUpdateOfHomeIndicatorAutoHidden when you want to change the value that prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden returns.

Hello, unfortunately there is no way to hide the swip up bar. In it's spot you could add a on screen home button. Go to settings, then general, than Accessibity, than go to accessibilty short cuts all the way at the bottom and turn on Assistive touch. That will act like an on screen home button.

if there is a way to change the location of the home swipe bar it will be really great too.
