It tends to become unresponsive and users are unable to perform a swipe up to access the Home or Recents screen. Even though they get the haptic feedback of the same but the gesture doesn’t work. In some cases, they’re able to perform a back swipe gesture but that’s just about it. So is there a fix? Let’s check it out.
