Why is my iPhone 12 swipe up motion not smooth?

I just logged into an iPhone 12 and the swipe up motion to go to the Home Screen or your open apps is more of a haptic, less smooth motion. It isn’t the normal motion. I have checked if I have reduce motion on but it isn’t.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, then tap Haptic Touch or 3D & Haptic Touch. Choose the touch duration—Fast or Slow. On an iPhone with 3D Touch, you can also choose the pressure needed—Light, Medium, or Firm. Test your new settings on the image at the bottom of the screen.

The iPhone may be lagging due to low storage left. So, clear some space. Nonetheless, clear your System Data every-so-often.


Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support
