iPad swipe function not working

I have a new IPad and all a sudden the swipe function isn’t working. If I force a restart, swipe to close will not work. Also will not allow to swipe to close the app from the bottom I was on previously.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Hey ILOVETHECOWBOYS,


We understand that you're having issues with swipe gestures on your iPad Pro. We'd like to help!


If you haven't already, we recommend following the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple: If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


  1. "Restart your 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 your screen isn't working after those steps, reach out to Apple Support directly for a closer look: Contact - Official Apple Support


Take care.
