After the latest update of Minecraft Bedrock Edition (MCPE), the touch screen control system has changed in a way that is affecting gameplay, especially PvP.
Previously, players were able to press and drag the screen directly from the intractive button ( bottom right side of the screen) to rotate the camera or aim smoothly. But after the update, this functionality is delayed or restricted — dragging the screen from inside the button doesn’t work instantly anymore. It only starts to work when the finger is moved near the edge or outside the button area, which creates serious issues in reaction time and gameplay flow.
This affects fast-paced combat (PvP) and mobility. It has made it difficult to:
Aim quickly while tapping the attack button
Use combo moves smoothly
Maintain consistent strafing and camera movement during battles
This feels more like a touch zone or UI input bug, or possibly an unintended change in the new input system.
Device: [oppo a3 pro 5g]
OS: android
Minecraft Version: [1.21.92.1]
Controls: Touch
Game Mode: Survival/Creative (mainly affects PvP in any mode)
Please fix this issue, It’s severely affecting mobile players performance.
Thanks!

It is true man I have the same problem which is ruining my speed bridge as well as strafe and aim which are crucial in PvP and overall it's ruining all our mobile players PvP skils
I have the same problem since the update the controls are buggy and it makes mobility in the game less fluid
This issue is being tracked at MCPE-220353.
Yes, this is actually true. Also to add on, you can't bridge properly because the touch button doesn't budge to move instantly which effects bridging and bow gets effected too.
My mcpe version is 1.21.92
Controls is Joystick with split
You can check it out yourself when you try to use bow with the touch button there will be a delay, delay of screen movement. It won't move until the bow is loaded or you move your finger very fast
