What happened to video scrubbing on ios17?

Before I updated to ios17 and ipad17 I enjoyed a feature where I could drag my finger wcross the screen to scrub videos. But now that feature is gone. Is there a way to restore in settings? I didn’t find one. Is there a way to return to the previous software?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

I think Jeff is referring to scrub anywhere feature that was taken away from all video player for ios 17. In the previous version; you were able to scrub anywhere on the screen to move forward and backward as opposed to now you have to tap once to find the progress bar and then move in the progress bar to fast forward or rewind. @Jeff - this feature is not present on ios 17 and I had to go back to ios 16. This is a deal breaker for me and I am hopeful that apple with restore this feature.

Hello JeffSerrano1,


It sounds like you are talking about fast forwarding in a video. This could be within various apps on your devices. Depending on your issue, see the following for a solution:



Once you update the iPhone or iPad software, there isn't a supported way to revert to a previous version.


Should the issue continue, please reply back with the results of the steps above. For example, is the issue app specific or happening in all apps? This helps us to get on the same page.


We hope to hear how it goes.


Cheers!
