iPhone 11 iPhone 11 takes 4 swipes to wake up??

I have to swipe up 4-5 times for the screen to wake up from being asleep...is anyone else having this problem? I would think even if the phone is not pointed toward my face it should still wake up and turn the screen on?

Why don’t you just double tap the screen first?

nope no issues here.

It does not wake up with a swipe, it wakes up with either a tap or the phone being raised from a surface.

try to swipe in any direction. It won’t budge. It was designed that way.

I didn't think tapping was required...I'm new to a phone without a button and everyone tells me to swipe up to wake it up.

Nope, tap to wake, swipe to unlock/open.

Alternatively, you can turn on “Raise to Wake”. When you lift the phone, it wakes up. No tapping required.

Is this "raise to wake" a setting in the phone I need to activate?

No. . . it's on by default.

Yes, it’s under Settings > Display and Brightness. It’s an on/off toggle about halfway down the menu.

EDIT: It might be on by default for new phones, I can’t remember. But if not, you can turn it on there.

Isn't that on by DEFAULT?

I think you’re right. I’ve used it since it was first implemented and my memory is poor. 😅
