New iPad 10th Gen. Have a 3rd party capacitance pencil that works fine within apps and general selection of apps within the iPad ios. However, I can't use the pencil to close apps. The up-swipe from the bottom of the screen works fine with my finger gesture, but not with the pencil. Just trying to figure out if this is normal with Apple pencil. Thanks.
Mac mini, macOS 11.2
The Apple Pencil - and third-party alternatives - do not replicate the full range of swipe-gestures that can be performed using a finger. As such, the behaviour that you observe is entirely as expected.
While you should be able to dismiss an App using an upward swipe with the Pencil from the App Switcher page, you can't trigger the App Switcher page using a Pencil swipe-gesture.
Consider that unlike your finger (or basic capacitive stylus), the Apple Pencil can only interact with the visible area of the screen. Some swipe-gestures start from off-screen where your finger can be sensed.
