Before I created macros and was able to use ui interactions but for some reason the ui interaction "gesture" feature stopped working. I once had an app that could unlock my phone autonomously through the use of a "gesture" or "swipe". Does anybody have any ideas as to what could be stopping this feature from working. Under settings accessibility I enabled Ui Interaction for macrodroid so you would think that might have been off but it was on so I can't figure it out. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

My Experience is Ui-Interaktion ( for any app) mostly stops working when the device has a long uptime. Sometimes it helps to restart the app. I restart my device to fix UI-Bug. I bet someone outhere has the knowledge and time to make a macro which checks & reports if UI-interactions is working on MacroDroid.

In my experience UI integration used to occasionally stop working on a Samsung S20+.
However, since I've moved to Oppo Find X3 Neo a couple of months ago, I haven't had UI integration stop working.
So it may depend on the make of phone, version of Android and perhaps what other apps are installed.

"UI interaction" action won't be working accidentally after when you occupied Android task with heavy macro and crashed.
In another case, Android OS sometimes revoke the accessibility permissions if you didn't use them for a while.

Thanks dhj49er and tanutanu for that Information.
I will check if the Ui-Service stops on too many or long Macros.
MacroDroid Developers need to implent a function to MacroDroid App which checks permanently if the UI-Interaction is working or not and Alerts the User with a Notification when the UI-Interactions is not working anymore.
If some of my daily Macros didn't work, I have to check UI-Interaction by starting a Macro which is using Ui-Interaction.
I am using EMUI 9.1 and the Accessibility-Service shows me that MacroDroid UI-Service is enabled but the Ui-Interactions are not working. I kept waiting for Harmony-OS to have more stable working OS than Android. I used 20 years Windows but on that OS I was Admin. On my Tablet the owner is me but the Administrator of my Android-OS is Google Inc. I feel like little stupid children because Google took over my Administrative-Rights.

Someone in this forum wrote that enabling the switch in the preferences can fix UI-Interaction errors. I checked it out and solved the problem. You can activate the switch in the preferences menu.
If it isn't working with the switch and you are using a task-killer app to optimize the performance of your device, you could take out some android-system-services from the list on your task-killer app.
Thanks to that user who gave that advice

Can you please explain what switch you're referring to? I have problems with macros not starting during the first 1.5 minutes after start-up and have checked all suggested UI interaction settings, so I wonder if there is yet another one.
Tnx...

On my Device it was some Days working but then it stopped working again. If you use Autools there is a Script
The Switch I meant is in Preferences-Menu / Accessibility / Accessibility-Link. It enables a little Icon at the Navigation-Bar, where the User can see Human with stretched out Hands.
On my Huawei Tablet I can activate the Accessibility-Link, when I press both Volume Buttons together for some Seconds. .
In the next Days I will not Kill some System-Apps to optimize the Operating System.
