Has Ios26 update reduced touch screen sensitivity on both my iPad and my iPhone 15 pro max?

No for as far as I know not, have you tried a forced restart of the devices to see if the issues persist?

YES! I’ve been looking for a place to report this! My lock screen camera button and flashlight buttons are totally different on my 15PM. I have to push it it multiple times, completely different from the latest IOS. If I need my camera quickly, the lock screen shortcut is useless.

also, when I have the phone mounted on my bike, it’s impossible I change songs. The buttons “click” and I can see them acknowledging a press, but they do nothing

Mine is doing it on my watch. Anytime I am in messages, i have to hit the button about 10 times for it to go back to the previous screen. My watch auto updated to this and I hate it. I’ve restarted and forced shut down my watch several times as well.

the pins on messages are also glitchy.

Oh my gosh, it’s been bothering me so much too. For me, it’s most noticeable when using the quick action menus like when I touch and hold on a photo to save it. There’s barely any feedback that the option was selected, and so many times I’ve thought I saved an image only to realize I didn’t.

Like I used to be able to just hold and immediately drag my finger down to select ‘Save’, but now I feel like I have to hold and then tap ‘Save’ separately just to make sure it actually registers. 

However, it’s like that on every other place where I can do the whole “press and drag movement” in menus. It’s hard to explain, but it really just feels so awkward now and definitely was not like this before.

This happens to me too. It’s the whole reason I’m in this thread now. And the keyboard seems off or inaccurate.

Also on my iPhone 13 mini. It's a disaster to swipe-type anything b ecau se i t al so ski ps inpu t!!
