Game takes me to Home Screen when playing

Why is my game keep going back to Home Screen. I’ve bought my new iPhone 14 pro max and every time I play game it keeps sending me back to Home Screen at least one time. And it reset the game meaning when I try to go back to the game application again it starts from the game’s loading screen not from where it kicked me out.

Hi tanvir39,


When you're playing your game, how are you holding the device? Is it possible that during your game play you are using a gesture that closes the game and returns you to the Home Screen?


Gesture, swipe, and press to navigate your iPhone 13 and other Face ID models - Apple Support


Use gestures to get around

To create a continuous surface, the Home button has been replaced with new ways to navigate.

Unlock and get to the Home Screen
* To unlock your iPhone with Face ID.
1. Glance at your iPhone
2. Swipe up from the bottom of the Lock Screen. Or if your iPhone is on a table or other flat surface, you can raise it or tap it to wake it.

* To go to the Home Screen at any time, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.

If the issue continues without taking the gestures above, then ensure iOS is updated, check for updates to the app, and reach out to the app developer to further troubleshoot.

Kind regards.
