iPad Pro control centre swipe problem.

I also faced the same problem and when i took it to service center they told that its hardware issue and replaced a new one. But unfortunately, the new one also had the same issue and this time the service personnel advised me that this is definitely a software issue as not all devices can have hardware issue. They asked me to wait for an official apple update or fix sometime in late march. I spoke to the apple support iOS senior technical advisor and explained the issue. he asked me to capture video of the issue and send so that apple can look into it and fix. I have mailed the video yesterday and waiting for the reply.

I just discovered the same issue. I have the iPad pro for about two weeks now. This just recently started happening and it's the same as you described only an issue on portrait mode and intermittent if I swipe 20 times it may come up seven out of 20 but not every time

Also seems like the home button side of my iPad Pro screen isn't recognizing swipes onto screen. If in portrait mode, the Control Center won't open, if in landscape mode, no swipe-over multitasking and if upside down, no Notification Center. Restore didn't solve anything.

Doing a hard reset of the iPad solved the problem for a few minutes, but it eventually returned. Seems to be a software issue. I have not been able to pinpoint if anything in particular is causing it yet.

Also, is there a way to edit previous posts? Can't seem to find it. No need for me to take up multiple posts for new info.

You are given a 10 minute time frame from the original submission time to edit your post. After 10 minutes, you cannot longer edit the post and have to create a new one.

Confirmed, same issue here. Swiping in from the home button / touch ID doesn't bring up control center or notification centre (depending which way you've got it orientated).

Also affects multi-tasking as well.

This is on a 12.9" iPad Pro I received last week.

I Thought I was the only one with this issue, and it has not been fixed during any software updates so I thought maybe it was a hardware issue Until I found this thread. How do we escalate the problem to Apple to get this fixed? This is a major bug!

Have we confirmed it's software based? It only does it on the one edge of the screen and I tested it today. 10 swipes on every edge of the screen.

Left: 10/10
Top (Camera): 10/10
Right: 10/10

Bottom (Home Button): 3/10

(swipes successful)

I submitted a bug report on the 3rd, but seems it hasn't gotten any traction.

Since it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't it leads me to think software... It'd be pretty bad if so many iPads have hardware issue too.

I've seen posts saying that replacing the iPad did and didn't solve the issue, so who knows. I'd suggesting submitting bug reports. The more they see the quicker we may get an answer.

Same problem here. I can swipe the Notification Center and the control center in any orientation other than normal portrait mode. Landscape and upside-down work just fine. Let's hope the next software update addresses this issue. It's quite an annoyance for such an expensive purchase.

You know I'm more convinced it's a software problem. I unlocked my iPad the other day and did my 10 swipe test and it came up all 10 times.

Then today, it broke again.off f

Also, when I swipe to the left to search, I notice the keyboard looks off, like it's pushed down a bit and the space bar is almost missing.

Here's hoping it's just oddness for the new screen res. FIX IT APPLE <3.

Another iPad Pro 12.9 here. It sounds like software related. Apple marketing, talk to your software department and get this fixed. Here is another link to continue the complaints. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/swipe-from-home-button-edge-of-ipad-pro-12-9 -intermittently-does-not-work.1969197/

I have exactly the same problem: just purchased the Pro last Friday and now I got this same issue. This morning, after charging the swipe was working well in portrait mode but when using Safari in landscape the swipe for split view or the control center started to malfunction again.

It usually works fine if you start to swipe from the home button and you can see that if you draw something on Notes you won't be able to draw on the edge of the home button side while you can on all the other edges.

I'm now trying a restore and if the problem persists I'll visit a Genius next week for a replacement unit.

Already done: the first time I tried the hard reset it worked but just for a while... After that I got the same behavior. I just finished to restore and the condition remained exactly the same. Will visit the Genius for hardware problem.

HI there, I have a similar problem on my new Ipad Pro, that is, swipes do not work in any orientation. Have tried fixes as suggested by others, including updating IOS to 9.3 to no avail. However, I have found a workaround. Go to Settings/Accessibility/Accessibility Shortcut. In the options shown, activate Assistive Touch. Exit, then give the Home Button 3 presses. This will now bring up a button on the lower right of all screens. Pressing this will bring up a small window with several items in it, one of which brings up the Control Center. I hope this workaround will suffice until there is a proper fix for for this bug.
