Reachability not working on iPhone

My iPhone's Reachability function is not working. I've been using this accessibility feature issueless for years now and suddenly it's just stopped working.


I've tried work arounds using the Assistive Touch feature to add an additional custom action and nothing.

Try turning Reachability off and on. After try a Forced Restart.

Also, make sure you are swiping from the very bottom of the screen, the center or above won't work.
