BitLife, The business update and iOS 16

To those who are playing BitLife, the long awaited business update is finally here. Unfortunately, there seems to be a couple of issues. First of all, when choosing your salary, or give bonuses to employees and manage production, there seem to be missing pickers. To make matters worse, the new iOS update seem to be messing things up when it comes to navigating the game. Sometimes when swiping around, the screen either doesn't respond properly and when it does, the cursor jumps around. I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this problems, but just thought I would share it in case. I know that there is currently an issue with direct touch for some people, and I might just be one of them. However, The missing picker bug must be a different issue. I guess if anyone else experienced these problems, it would mean a lot if they can confirm in the comments.

Not just this game all of the games that we can play that use direct touch is having this issue. And after playing the game I’m having difficulty using other apps like Safari because if I double tap on an element, for example the show bookmarks button it doesn’t do anything that’s why I’m not playing the direct touch games until the bug is fixed.
But after restarting, I can use the Settings and the Safari normally as long as I don’t open the apps that use Direct touch

I'm experiencing the same issue. I think the lack of pickers isn't due to IOS 16, however it's a bug in the app itself. As for the direct touch, I'm also experiencing issues due to the update.

There seems to be a bug with direct touch in iOS 16 where swiping doesn't always work, and neither does tapping. This has been an issue since the iOS 16 beta. It's not exclusive to BitLife, in the DirecTV app which uses direct touch to navigate, it's the same behavior. Unfortunately we'll just have to wait until Apple releases a fix until we're able to play.

Has this been fixed in the latest beta?

There has been an update of Bitlife, and there are pickers for product quantity, salary and lots of other things now.

All those things are working now. It's up to Apple to fix the direct touch issue. Can't wait for the next iOS update.

BitLife, and Direct Touch seems to function properly now in the latest iOS 16.0.2 update. I can play the game with no issue, and my other direct touch apps are working as well. Go and grab the update.

Glad this bug was fixed quickly.
