Introduction#

This video goes over the bugs that have been affecting new versions of iPadOS, starting from 26 onward. To this day, some bugs have yet to be fixed, and at this point it is a definite possibility that these bugs may be intended behavior and not actual bugs.

Touchscreen Bug#

Starting from iPadOS 26, Apple introduced a bug that disables four to five finger swipe movements when “Four & Five Finger Gestures” are off in the Settings application. Turning off this feature in iPadOS 26+ will result in four-key or five-key patterns occasionaly dropping touch input. In the video, you can see this behavior in action.

This behavior is present in both iPadOS 26 and 27, and given that this bug has been on these iPads for the past two years, it is highly doubtful that Apple will provide a fix for this issue.

Fixes#

You can fix the touchscreen bug by turning on Guided Access. Learn how to do that in this video.
