For the last few months, I've been experiencing an issue on my homescreen which stops me from swiping the homescreen left/right for other pages, and up (for the list of apps). When I click on an apps folder on the homescreen, that does not open either. The only swipe that works is swiping down to access settings. Id have to restart my phone every few days whenever this issue occurred. However with the latest update, I've found myself having to restart my phone 5-6 times in a single day. It's absurd. I need a proper solution.
