There may not be a "right" or "wrong" way to hold your iPhone (the best way is that which is most comfortable and functional for you). But with so many larger phone sizes become increasingly popular, there are pros and cons to using one or two hands when using your phone.
Consider The Size Of Your Hands
You may be used to using one hand to operate your device. But if you have upgraded to a larger phone size, it's important to keep the size of your hands in mind when using it. It's far easier to drop your phone if you're texting with one hand and it may be helpful to change your style and use two hands.
Use The Reachability Feature
If you have a larger iPhone but are devoted to using your device with one hand, you're going to love the Reachability feature. This function, available on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus, instantly moves the content on the top half of your screen to the bottom so that you can easily access it. To use the Reachability function double tap the Home button. With one hand you'll now be able to scroll and access links without using your free hand.
