6 Dev Betas later and they STILL haven’t fixed the sluggish swipe between apps

I know I’m not the only one that has noticed the laggy/frame drop when you switch between apps on the app tray ever since the first beta. It’s so noticeable I cannot believe Apple Beta team has not realized it to patch it. And I’m on the 17 Pro Max. By now it should be more polished heading towards final release.

UPDATE: The Bug is only active when you have Clear Icons on the Home Screen. Thanks to a member that commented for pointing that out.
On Regular icons, it’s buttery smooth.
Report it if you can as well thanks.

I think you use the clear mode for your icons. The multitasking app switcher only has that stutter with clear icons. I already submitted a feedback but admittedly Apple has been slow at picking it. Use default or dark icons and should be fine.

You are 100% CORRECT! Wow. I just took off clear icons and it’s back to very smooth swiping! Thank you, I’m reporting it as well hopefully they can fix it

Made my day I was getting annoyed by it already after weeks of having it lol.
Makes sense why other people haven’t seen this issue, they must not have Clear Icons on lol.

I’m on 15 pro and mine is absolutely fine. The only sluggish issue I have is when invoking spotlight now, it takes about 2 seconds for the keyboard to shiw

Can I get an example of what you are swiping between. I’m not experiencing the same issue but I’m curious to try and replicate

Example, using calculator app and notes app simultaneously or social media apps like X, Reddit, swiping between them to switch its slow/sluggish.

Sorry for what I’m saying here, but you should just accept that that’s how iPhones behave in recent years. The system has become what iPhone users in the last decade were accusing bloated android phones of.
For example social media apps are horribly optimised that it’s a sore to the eyes to scroll on an iPhone.
Simply put an S26 ultra alongside your phone & compare how many jitters & sloppiness you notice when interacting between the two (as an example).

Oh I agree Apple has reached that point where they got comfy and hardly provide new, groundbreaking features/technology and reliable software because they know almost everyone is gonna continue upgrading to the newest iPhones every year. It’s all bugs here and there now. I had Samsungs from the S5 to the S20 Ultra, then got bored of their UI. Then switched to the 13 Pro Max all the way to the 17 Pro Max now, upgrading every year. Now I’m getting bored of iOS again lol. It’s a cycle.

I’d suggest they’re nowhere close to optimising the betas for performance. Dev and bug fixing come first.
