Can't swipe to open apps or messages, ios 15

I’ve found that turning Face ID off allows me to swipe right again. I discovered this after I reset my phone and I had to set up Face ID again. I contacted Apple Support via Twitter about this, and they told me that is expected behavior of iOS 15 with a link to leave feedback. So I guess this is a thing now ?

Try tap and hold or swipe slowly to left and tap options

I’ve experienced the same issue in notifications centre. Until there’s an official response on the matter, double tapping the notification did the trick and opened it directly.

i hope this helps :)

I miss the swipe right to open notifications very much too! Thanks for the suggestions! Tapping and holding didn’t work for me consistently somehow. Then, I accidentally discovered that I can open a notification just by a quick tap which seems to be a few seconds faster than swipe right (which I thought was already the best way previously)!

Hi

I've the same problem with Ipad Pro 11 with new IOS15. I swipe screen with 4 fingers to see resident app's. then I try to swipe upe each app and they don't make ( I can't kill the app). If I hold down a finger on app nothing happens. If a touch an pp to open it , nothing happens.

I did a reset and after that it runs OK, until next time

thanks

Product Feedback - Apple:

Well iOS 15 broke a very useful gesture, slide to open, which make it easy saved time and keeping you in focus to get directly

to the info or conversation you need.

Please iOS team and our friends at , fix it and bring it back.

Thank you.

I miss this feature. I used it a lot and now I’m suddenly looking at my widgets multiple times per day because of the omission of the feature. 🥴

I strongly dislike this tap to open feature. I miss the swiping feature as I know everyone else does as well. Let’s please change this or at least give users the option to swipe or tap.

bring the swipe back! It doesn’t make sense how some apps open with swipe, and some do not. Messages is the #1 example, they used to open with a swipe but now I have to tap? But my Uber notifications open with swipe.. and tap?

I like the swipe and/or tap

Did my suggestion help? If so I guess they changed it, others have commented today .

We have to assume a design change. We don't get told any more than you but as I say it had been mentioned, and solved the way I said.

Same here! This is incredibly annoying/ frustrating. My cousin has an iPhone Xs with the latest iOS 15 and his swipe right still works to open/reply so I’m not sure if it’s a feature or a bug.
