Swipe up to home not working after iOS 16 update

Swipe up to home is not working ever since I updated my iPhone11 to iOS 16. I tried all the recommended solutions like force restart and hard reset the iPhone. Still no luck. This bug is not fixed in subsequent patches too. I have also updated to 16.1.1 but still the same. When will apple fix this bug??

Hi harshalfromind,


To clarify, you're not able to exit apps by swiping up? Does it not register the swipe at all, or does it seems like it tries to swipe the app away but it stutters or fails?


In either case, if you have a case or screen protector on your display, remove it and then test the issue again. If the problem still happens and a restart doesn't fix it, contact Apple Support directed for help.
