Not if its installed properly, it should not affect any of the iPhone X functionality.
Ok but like if I swipe my thumb up to go to the home screen would I feel the edge of the screen protector rubbing against my thumb or something?
No you won’t. There is almost 2/3 of centimeter gap from the end of screen protector and the bar
The possibility of cracking/scratching the screen or the possibility of feeling the edge of a screen protector. The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
My screen is a film type, so much thinner than glass. I feel it, but only when I swipe up from too far down.... I'm still getting used to the 'sweet spot' of where to swipe up from, as when I get it right, I don't catch the edge of the screen protector. You don't need to swipe up from too far down...
As long as your screen protector falls 2-3mm below the edge of the actual screen, you should be ok as you only need to swipe up from just above contacting the Home Bar.
I don't feel the edge on mine at all. But I suspect if I removed my case, I would. It really comes down to the screen protector used combined with a case perhaps. Without knowing the specifics, I can only say I don't feel the edge on mine.
