iPhone X swipe up not working after iOS 13 update

I thought I had this problem after migrating to IOS13. I could not swipe up, but found out through trial and error that if I swiped up and just held my thumb/finger in the center for a second, the app would pop up in the center for dismissal/closure. I turned off "Reduce Motion" under Settings and behavior is normal again. When I swipe up, the app appears and slides up to center for action. YMMV

I think most (if not all) of the people with this issue have an aftermarket screen. I had my screen replaced outside of Apple and I've seen many replies from people saying the same. I took my phone to a mall kiosk and they said they were aware of this issue but that the screens they use weren't affected. He popped my screen off and put a new one on and sure enough my gestures are working again. Just my $0.02.

Yeah mate. Several times. It’s in the iOS13 software. Use assistive touch is the only option in the interim until 13.1 is released with a fix. Fingers crossed.

iOS 13.1.1 was released today (Friday September 27, 2019). Update to see if it corrects the problem.

If you have a security screen, replace it with a regular one. I now have no problems. Although the security screen was nice until you want more than one person to see a photo.

All I did was turn my phone off then Back on that worked like a charm

First and foremost, just be patient for 24 hours and see if the issue resolved when iOS 13.1 is released September 24.

I would hate to see people jump through hoops if it will be fixed simply by installing tomorrow's update.

I have found a temporary solution to make it work, It is bit hard though.

turn on touch accommodation under accessibility and tick use initial touch.

still it won’t be normal as it is in iOS 12

I made a reset for settings. Finally it helped me. No more freezing swipes (yet). Also have nasty Springboard respawn during switching between apps gone away (hopefully).

Do you have a third party screen on your device?

Sign up for beta and update to iOS 13.2 beta 3 and the swipe up works.

Hi,

Couple of things you can do

-Have your 3rd party screen flashed with correct software at the repair shop. Like I did: works 100% (fastest option)

-Wait for the apple ios fix and use assistiveTouch meanwhile till bugs get fixed (slowest option)

-Visit official apple store and get a new original screen (expensive option)

Its in settings under Accessibility/Touch/AssistiveTouch - slide bar across to green

It adds a button to screen that enable you to revert back to HOME screen when in any app.

Most useful when swipe up fails.

No there is nothing wrong with the screen, I rolled back to 12.1.4 and it’s working fine now. So I think the problem is just iOS 13.
