iOS device model, version and app version

Model Name: iPhone 17 Pro Max
Software Version: iOS 26.5, HA App 2026.4.1 (1904)
App version:

Home Assistant Core Version

2026.5.4

Describe the bug
When swiping up from the bottom of the screen to close the app or open
the app switcher, buttons placed near the bottom of the dashboard
(within or close to the safe area) are accidentally triggered. The
touch event from the home indicator gesture appears to register on
interactive elements underneath it before iOS intercepts the swipe

To Reproduce

1. Place a button card near the bottom of a dashboard
2. Swipe up from the bottom edge to close the app / open the app switcher
3. Observe that the button action is triggered unintentionally

Expected behavior
The bottom safe area should not pass touch events to buttons beneath
the home indicator. iOS safe area insets should prevent interactive
elements from being tappable in that region.
