Apple

I'm having experiences where my phone won't ping/ring when I get text messages even if it's set on ringer, and the volume is high. If I then increase/decrease the ringer volume with the side buttons, messages begin being notified with sound.

Another problem I'm having recently is being unable to swipe right/left on the bottom home bar to swap between open apps. It used to work properly before, but now it needs some playing with for it to begin working again.

Was there a software update that is causing these bugs?
