iPhone 12 Pro Max Why is swipe so bad on iPhone.

[vikingjunior]

There was an article recently about Apple not implementating a better reach capability but honestly swiping is horrible on the recent iPhone. Especially on the iPhone pro max. I've been thinking about going back to Android for a "back" button. You shouldn't have to swipe from one part of the screen to the other.

Oh man, in the X was worst...
But you should keep your options open, maybe an android is ok for you.

What's the context of your complaint?

I think it works great. I've never had any issues with unregistered swipes or reachability on my iPhone X. I thought I would miss the home button and old gestures when I went from my 6S to the X in 2017 but it quickly became evident how much easier the gesture based UI was to use.

Never had any problems with swiping here.

Wife and son use it all the time without any issues. I never use it, I mainly use voice dictation.

I believe the OP is talking about swiping to change screens, not the keyboard.

Oh hell, I believe you're right! I... was erm, responding to another guy...

I have no problems swiping different screens. If your fingers are damp when you try to swipe, it won't work well. Make sure your screen is clean as well.

Going from the best to a inferior operating system isn’t going to make your life easier. 😂

Swipe issues, what will they think of next. 🤦‍♂️

My swipe issues are related to being overly sensitive to lateral movement. I swipe up and instead go to a different screen. Often just taking it out of my pocket invokes the camera. Happens a lot. Wish there was a sensitivity setting.

it actually takes 2 taps to activate camera.1st tap to wake the screen and the 2nd tap(need to hold for a sec and the phone vibrates) to turn on camera.But i get what you mean,in Android theres this Pocket Mode where the phone detects that its in your pocket so it wont activate.
