iPadOS 16.1 - three fingers gestures

I’m using iPad Pro (11-inch) (2nd generation) and updated it to iPadOS 16.1 (20B82). Update broke how three finger gestures (pinch in/out for copy/paste; swipe left/right for undo/redo) work. Now they “collide” with two-finger gestures and both are detected at the same time. Example - in Numbers app, I want to copy cell, so I do three fingers pinch in, but this copies cell and zooms in screen at the same time. The same with pinch out - paste and zoom out at the same time. The same happens in Safari. Anybody having the same issue?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Hey packie11,

We do see where you should be able to punch closed with three fingers to copy text: Select, cut, copy, and paste text on iPad - Apple Support

If you haven't already, restart your iPad to see if fresh connections help to resolve this: Restart your iPad - Apple Support

If that doesn't help, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support to look into this more: Contact - Official Apple Support

Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
