Difficulty swiping on the iPad

Hey elizabethfromlower burrell,

The steps found in the following guide can help with the issue you're experiencing with swiping between screens: If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If your screen is too sensitive or responds intermittently to touch

1. Restart your iPhone or iPad.

2. Make sure that your screen is clean and free of any debris or water.

3. Disconnect any Lightning or USB-C accessories. If your screen works after removing an accessory, try using a different outlet, cable, or charger.

4. Remove any cases or screen protectors.

If you are still having trouble, let us know more so we can keep looking into this:

• Does this happen while using a certain app or on the Home screen?
• Do other gestures work as expected?

Keep us posted!

Take care!

Elizabethfromlower burrell,

Thanks for the update. Be sure your iPad is running the latest software version. Keeping your software up to date is one of the most important things you can do to maintain the performance of your device. (Secure your data with backup before proceeding): Update iPadOS

If you're running the latest version, or the issue persists after the update, we suggest reaching out to Apple directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to connect with them here: Get Support

Best wishes!

You're very welcome!

We hope you enjoy your weekend.
