Ok , i will try to explain this.

i have tryed on my wifes pro max 13 and she has the same issue

for this to work , or to stuck a bit while tramfering app , you need to have at least 6 full pages.

now try and take something from the first page , and move it to the last , you will see the screen kind holds while sliding app thrue pages

its like that even on 13 pro max

I have also one issue : when i want to see notifications “to pull down the curtain” i cant seem to do that from the dinamic island , when i slide from wehe my time is , top left corner than i can, but , directly from head phone down sometimes it will and sometime it wont slide it.

and for moving the pages , it moves them , in my case , but it kind of srugless , dont know how to explain but on this way.

it moves but it is on the same page , then it moves to second , and second move to third and so on.

it will move app to the last page in my case , but not so easy.

all pages must be full , and there hase to be at least 5 pages

In the order for this to happen , you need to have at least 5 FULL pages , and they need to be in the row.

than you take some app from the first page , amd try to move it to third or forth page.

it will move , it moves in my case to , but it kind of hasitates when doing that.

i have tryed on my wifes pro max 13 and she has a same thing so now i know it is some sort of software

It is difficult to exactly understand which BLOCK you are facing while attempting to move the app. You may try the following method and see whether that helps:

Press and Hold the app icon, as you do, until the app icon begins to shake and you are ready to move the app, BUT, this time move the Home Screen with your other hand's finger instead of moving the app. It would be like to sliding the Home Screen from under the app icon instead. See whether that helps.

And now the new test….

i have 7 pages of apps that i am using.

if pages are full of apps , the problem of moving icons is present.

but if pages have ove last row empty , if you understand me , then there is no problem , and i can move apps wothout a glitch.

so it is not a hardware issue then it is a software , right?

do you want me to send you a linked video so you can see or you understand me

Hardware issues may also be intermittent at times as well. I don't feel that the issue is hardware related though. I still do not understand the "block" portion of your post.

-----------

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
