iOS 26.1 lags when swiping from widgets screen to first page of home screen.

You will have to tell Apple directly about this issue by using the Feedback link, Apple does not follow these user to user communities.

The more users do this, the higher the report will be ranked in the iOS issue list for the Apple Techs.

I guess, you have already done a force restart after the latest update?

Same. I removed all my widgets and preformed the swipe from an empty widget page to the 1st screen page. No lag. Added them back. It lags again. The lag can literally be produced by even swiping slowly. This is an major issue.

I have also run into this issue. After updating my iPhone 17 from iOS 26.0 to iOS 26.1, micro-lags occur when interacting with the widget screen, which quite severely ruins the user experience. Micro-lags are also noticeable on the second hand of the analog clock face widget, and when summoning the Control Center. On 26.0, such problems were practically non-existent. I absolutely urge everyone to report our common issue at apple.com/feedback

I think it's fixed- I

updated to IOS Developer B 26.2

Waiting for the next iOS update is the only thing, besides using the Feedback link.

Hello,

Same problem for me.

I have a iPhone 15 Pro max.

Since I update to iOS 26.1 I have all the time lags when swiping from widgets screen to first page of home screen.

I disabled all my widgets and I restarted my iPhone, but the bug still there.

With iOs 26, I didn't have lags.

I also reported the problem on Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Thanks.

16 Pro Max, and experiencing frame drops and stuttering when swiping from the widgets page to Home Screen in iOS 26.1, in the previous version 26.0.1 this annoying stuttering and frame drops happened when swiping from App Library to Home Screen.

Is Apple ever going to release a version that fix an issue without breaking anything else?

I am also experiencing this. Before when I updated on my iphone 11 i thought it was just because my phone was slow, but when i did it on my 13 i realized this happened on multiple devices

The one that has bothered me the most and happens all the time. Is the left swipe after texting/reading your message(s) with someone. Once you swipe left, to see your conversation pool, where all your messages/conversations are located, only half of them appear then poof they all appear. That one reeks.

I have this to, have you found any workaround ?.

Ok- seems another update got pushed out, I will check and thanks for the update.
