Q: Multitasking Gestures occasionally fails (ios 8)

I've recently discovered that simply swiping down slightly from the top to bring down the Notification Center "curtain" just a hair and then swiping it back up, will re-enable the multitasking gestures. You don't have to swipe down a lot or all the way. It seems to me to be the fastest way of re-enabling them.

Has anyone tried the iOS 8.1 beta to see if it fixes the issue? I'm following another thread about home button issues on iPhones and 8.1 beta fixes that problem. Maybe it fixes this one too?

Me too, loose multi tasking gestures a couple of times a day.

i hope Apple will fix soon.

Same Problem here - im reliefed, that it Sems to be quite common.

I have same issue on 8.0.2. Switching off and back to on the "Multitasking gestures" setting in Settings / General Is resolve the issue but after some days come back repeadatly...

Same problem here

The problem continues in 8.1 beta 2.

Please fix it.

TThat figures..  Unless Jobs comes back from the dead, I doubt anything will ever get fixed. Apple is DONE.

YYup yup same here iOS 8.0.2 gestures regularly turns itself off.

WWhilst I am here discontinuing chrome browser is simply abuse of our rights. Microsoft paid hefty fines for forcing users to use internet explorer !!!,

not impressed!!!!!,

DDiscontinuing chrome? Says who?

Well thats what the Apple front page told me when I connected to support (from my iPad). Said that support for this Browser is being discontinued, please install Safari :-O.

For what its worth, my gestures too were failing on a random basis, pulling down notification and putting it back made gestures work again as did switching gestures on and off in settings. However, I decided to do a set as new via itunes, choosing not to restore from a backup when it restarted, so i had a complete fresh new ioad air. i then logged on to icloud and manually re downloaded my apps, so far, 5 days in, no failing of gestures at all, seems to have resolved itself, so far so good, lets see what 8.1 update brings on monday.

WWell well that makes no sense, I'm using chrome now...

I Have same problem with ios 8.1 pls apple fix that .. When I had ios 7.1.2 everything is work perfect whay the ios 8 Is have much bugs

If anything, it seems to be worse be worse in 8.1.

It only happened 2-3 times whilst on 8.0, but has happened 3 times already on 8.1. Not the worst bug in the world as is easily reinstated, but we shouldn't have to!

Any acknowledgement from Apple with confirmation they are working on it?

nothing change in 8.1 Why??????????????

still have problem with Multitasking Gestures

Please fix it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
