Unable to look around while holding down the attack or interact button on touch controls after 1.21.90 update.

Title:

Can't Look Around While Holding Attack/Interact Button on Mobile After 1.21.90 Update

Category:

Touch Controls – Android/iOS

Description:

In previous Minecraft versions (before 1.21.90), mobile players could look around while holding down the attack or interact button using the Joystick & Tap to Interact control scheme.

After the 1.21.90 update, this ability has been significantly affected. The player can now only look around if their finger moves outside the button area. If your finger stays inside the button area (even if holding), the game blocks camera movement.

This change:

Didn't exist in previous versions

Severely impacts PvP and mobility in gamemodes like Capture the Flag, SkyWars, and PvP servers

Was likely not intentional, as it's not listed as a control patch in changelogs

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use “Joystick & Tap to Interact” mode on mobile

2. Hold down the attack/interact button

3. Try to look around while keeping your finger within the bounds of the button

4. You'll see the camera won’t move unless your finger leaves the area

Expected Behavior:

Players should be able to look around freely while holding these buttons — just like before the update.
