Unable to swipe in app folders and close apps on iPhone 18 Pro Max

anyone has problems with swiping right-left-up-down on iPhone 18 pro max?

I’m having my apps in folders in main screen, so some folders have 2 or 3 pages, I couldn’t swipe right from first page to see other apps on 2nd or 3rd page.

I also couldn’t swipe up to close the app as normal.

I had this problem too but fixed after a reset, weird glitch

I don’t have this problem. I also have no problem scrolling through the contents of a folder or swiping up to close an app, although if you are doing that routinely you shouldn’t: Why you shouldn't close "background" apps | Communities


As a reminder, swipe halfway up and pause before you lift your finger.


If you are having problems swiping in general it could be your screen protector if you have one, or your screen may have a hardware problem
