I use a controller on my iPad for Minecraft. I used to use the touchscreen, but my old iPad broke and I started playing on the Xbox. I got a new iPad and used a controller because I had been playing on console for a few months and was used to it. But anyways, I usually use the touchscreen in the special crafting blocks the loom. but starting recently, my controller wouldn't work other than walking around. I'd touch the screen, but the touch controls don't appear. Id open the pause menu, but is wouldn't select anything because the controller just wouldn't work and I couldn't select anything. I have to just close minecraft and reopen it, which just takes a long time. It's been happening since probably 1.18 released
