When autoplaying video appears in the main feed it is not possible to scroll using the area of the screen occupied by the video.
If the video is portrait, and fills the screen, it is no longer possible to navigate the feed without finding a way back or force quitting the app.
This bug was reported here previously and it was said at the time that it was iOS’ fault and that the beta of iOS 17.1 fixed the problem. The problem remains.
Voyager 1.17.1 running on iOS 17.1 using an iPhone SE (2nd Generation).
The very last pass on a beta before it becomes final code is power usage optimization. Beta testers always complain about hot phones and dead batteries and then the update gets released and everything is fine. It’s possible there was something about the fix as-is that got flagged as unoptimized or bloating to the update so it got removed.
Looking at the bug report, the developer who patched it doesn’t seem to be 100% sure it worked. So that could also be the reason it got excluded.
I agree, it’s a little silly. Fingers crossed for 17.2.
And thank you for making a bandaid in the mean time.
