iPhone 13 Swipe Up Screen Not Working Properly

Hi - I've had the iPhone 13 for a few days now. It's running iOS 15. I've noticed that to open the home screen, I'm not always able to swipe up. Sometimes it sits on the Lock Screen, showing as unlocked, but I can't get into the apps. I have to lock the phone again, then wake the screen to unlock again in order to get to the home screen. Is this an iOS 15 issue? Or an iPhone 13 issue?

iPhone 13, iOS 15

I just found a solution!

I had the issue of no slide up from within apps on iphone 13. Read forums and most said update and restart. I did that, still no fix.

Dove into settings a bit and found the solution!

Go into Settings, Accessibility, Motion, turn off Reduce Motion.

And that’s it!

Hope this helps some other frustrated person.
