The “swipe up to home” animation is broken and stuttery when using 3rd party launchers. I discovered that granting “Notification Access” to the launcher triggers this lag. Revoking the permission restores 100% smoothness.
Launchers Tested:
Niagara Launcher, Nova Launcher, Smart Launcher 6, Lawnchair 15
Steps to Reproduce:
- Set a 3rd party launcher as Default.
- Enable Notification Access for that launcher.
- Swipe up from any app to return home -> Animation stutters/breaks.
- Disable Notification Access for the launcher.
- Swipe up again -> Animation is perfectly smooth.
