They took that option away in the iOS update. 😞

I agree it’s extremely disappointing swipe is gone. It’s just a better layout.

Android has the same layout and options. Swipe is gone. I Hope it's just a mistake and not a permanent change. I hate looking at my phone to see if I'm tapping the right spot on the screen instead of just easily swiping to scroll through content.

@switch 

Are you saying you lost the swipe ability also on your Android?

I am running Android 13 on an Umidigi and using official Roku app version. 11.1.0.4045211 and still have both traditional and swipe features available and working. (I actually prefer traditional though).

I totally get your frustration! The new layout with the volume and handlebar controls feels like a step back, especially since swipe controls have been such a convenient feature. It’s frustrating when an app changes something that many of us relied on for easier navigation. I really hope they consider bringing back swipe controls or at least provide an option for those who prefer it. Navigating without having to look at the screen was a game-changer!
