What is this grey bar on my iPhone screen?

Today I bought a brand new iPhone 6 16gb and whenever my finger slides across the home button this big grey bar slides down from the top of my screen. I've looked it up but can't find anything so please someone help! My entire screen slides down and I have no clue what to do. What is this grey bar on my iPhone screen

If you lightly double tap on the home button (without pushing it), it activates Reachability. The whole screen moves about halfway down so you can reach something at the top of the screen with your thumb instead of moving your hand

  • What is this grey screen spreading onto my iPhone in Safari? I have an iPhone 6S. Today I noticed something weird when I pull up a new Safari page. Instead of the web address screen that shows icons of my most visited web pages, it is just a white screen (with the URL box). Then, when I type in a website, light grey spreads over the screen. Otherwise safari seems to be working ok, but why is this randomly happening? Could it be a virus?
