I have an iPad 9th generation. iPadOS 18.1.1. Issue has been going on for a long time. It’s not an apple only issue since this happens on my Samsung galaxy a53 too. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or me not tapping it properly, but at this point it just feels like a bug honestly. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I’ve looked on Google and everything is talking about VoiceOver but as far as I know I don’t have that switched on.
Some users just have difficulty using touch-sensitive screens - and/or TouchID sensors. The potential causes for are many; whilst not an exhaustive list, possibilities include:
If you have naturally dry skin, try using a “light” (non greasy) and easily absorbed skin moisturiser.
Should your difficulties persist, you might be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) where you can (a) demonstrate the issue, and (b) the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad:
i am still having this issue
a lot of the time when i single tap it doesn't do it but not every time but it feels like every time but it might be a habit of mine of not aiming button correctly
If it's also happening on a completely different device, it's unlikely to be a bug. Since we can't see what you're doing and how, there's really no way we can offer much in the way of advice. I would suggest that if you have an Apple Store near you, go in and have them see what's going on.

Well, if you won't have your iPad and assessed by an Apple Technician - this being an opportunity to demonstrate the problem - you may never find out if the iPad has an issue. If the iPad is given a clean bill of health, then you'll know,
So what happens when you single-tap?
Two separate devices from two different manufacturers with completely different operating systems to both be having same rather niche “bug” seems vanishingly unlikely.
I guess it might be me not tapping it properly but I'm not sure.
Ensure that the flesh of your finger actually touches the screen - and not your fingernail.
But my nails aren’t touching the screen yet i have to do it almost every time
PLEASE someone help me with this issue nothing i do fixes it
I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING IT’S SO ANNOYING

Have you visited the Genius Bar at an Apple Store - as previously suggested?
no, but I'm not sure if it's an actual bug or just a habit of mine, if it's a habit, how do i stop it
Why do I have to double tap everything on my iPad?
