Try this. I don't know where the setting are to turn this off or change, and you have to do this kinda quick. At the bottom of all the app screens and the home screens there are the rows of dots that represent the pages? Press on one of those dots and without stopping scroll left or right depending on which app you want to access. It takes a couple tries to get it but I've been able to get it consistently after a few tries. I guess it something the Apple devs forgot to implement?
