Swipe Functions Not Working Properly iPad 10.5

Hi there IronPilot96,

We understand you're experiencing an issue with swiping gestures not working as expected on your iPad Pro.

In regard to the Search appearing, this may be due to not swiping down from the very top of the screen.

Learn more here: Learn advanced gestures to interact with iPad

For the Control Center, what happens when you swipe from the top-right corner?

Do you have a case or screen protector on your iPad Pro?

If so, remove it, and see if the gestures issues persist.

Cheers!

As described - and given that the Control Centre is not accessible - a forced-restart may be beneficial. The restart will often clear/resolve this and many other issues:

• On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
• On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

IronPilot96,

Thanks for sharing those additional details.

Since the gestures work as expected in portrait orientation but not landscape, check if the screen orientation is locked: Change or lock the screen orientation on iPad

If the issue persists with the top-right corner being unresponsive, give the steps here a try: If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad

Specifically, the step below may help:

"If part of your screen doesn't respond, responds intermittently, or responds even when it's not touched, contact Apple Support for your iPhone or iPad."

Regards.
