iPhone X swipe up not working after iOS 13 update

I just updated to iOS 13 this morning and then my 'swipe up' gesture is not working anymore. I can go pass the lock screen but when I'm using an app I can't 'swipe up'. It only scrolls. Any ideas how to fix it?

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’m having a similar issue on 13.1.2 - only mine is has issues when I swipe left or right ...


When swiping to trying to access more app screens, instead i get the menu that comes up when you swipe from the top menu (search etc).


And on YouTube video when I try to forward the video on the progress bar, it swipes to the next open app....


This is super frustrating!!

Since the upgrade to IOS 13 and 13.1 on my Iphone X (not happy) my screen goes black on most calls (it's not ear pushing). When I receive a call and answer the screen goes black. I cannot get the screen to become visible no matter how I swipe. I whine up pushing the button on the right side. Some time it will click for screen shot, other times it turns on the screen so I can disconnect. Nine times out of ten when I go through all those steps the person has hung up. My screen goes black often.
