I'm having trouble closing apps on my iPad (8th generation), which is about a year and a half old. I double click the home button and sweep up with my finger, but nothing happens until I press down really hard. I clean the screen daily with a lens/electronic wipe. There is no protector on the screen. What could be going on and how do I fix it? Thanks for your help.
iPad, iPadOS 15
Thanks again … I made an appointment, but then my dear spouse suggested I try restarting. I did and the apps are closing easily now … go figure. 😊 Problem solved and appointment cancelled.
