The footer of the Mobile Screen window contains buttons that are analogs of physical buttons of Android devices. For iOS devices, the footer does not display any buttons.

Back
Home
Settings (Recents)
Volume Down
Volume Up
On/Off (available only for Android devices managed either by a private Appium server, or connected to the computer locally)

The buttons’ captions are self-descriptive. We would like to draw your attention to the On/Off button. It does not turn the device off or on but emulates these actions, that is, it sends all activities on the device appropriate notifications. This lets you test how your application handles such situations.
