Hey everyone. So I decided to give the iOS 16 public beta a try since the main release is dropping in about a month. I've been using it for a couple of days, and I am really liking some of the new features. Only problem is direct touch.
Whenever I go into an app that uses direct touch, it doesn't work properly. Swiping left and right gets stuck, and navigating just feels slow and doesn't work right. Then when I return to the home screen, voiceover wigs out, and sometimes edit mode keeps activating automatically. Then going into another app that doesn't use direct touch, like twitter or settings, double tapping on items no longer works. The only way to make voiceover work properly again is completely shutting down the phone and turning it back on. This happens with both of my only apps that use direct touch, DirecTV, and BitLife. On iPhone 13. Is anyone else having this issue and have you found a solution?
I sent Apple feedback about this via their feedback app, so hopefully this is fixed by main release.
