Ok guys I know some of you are aware of and have found that at certain times using a custom gesture doesn't work when taking you to the status bar. I've posted before that this seems somehow to relate to media apps and maybe other ones as well. What I've just found is even more strange and I wonder if anyone who has the issue can reproduce it. So, if your phone is unlocked and you connect the charger the gesture no longer works. However, if you connect the charger when the phone is locked then unlock it and try the gesture it works. Equally, when unlocked if you unplug the charger the gesture immediately works again. Tried this with iPhone 15 pro. Even more strange is this does not happen using an iPhone 14 on the same iOS 18.3.1. So no idea what is going on.

Try another cable
I‘ve an old iPad which doesn’t respond to the home button when charging. This happens with some lightning cables but not alle. Curiously the cables work with other devices as expected. So you should try another cable and even another charger if possible.
My first question…
Would be, does the bug that interferes with the gesture for reaching the status bar affect anything below an iPhone 15? Asking because I am wondering if this is possibly a hardware issue.
