Apple TV App missing skip buttons

We moved and when I started using our Apple TV with the app on my phone the skip buttons are missing. My son’s phone still has them. I looked in settings and there wasn’t any options. Any ideas?

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Apple TV App Missing Buttons The app has lost the skip forward and back buttons. When watching Netflix, I can swipe right and tap to skip or lock the phone and skip options are there but not in the app. Help!

why is navigating Apple TV so hard? Why is getting back to the main screen almost impossible, unless you just kill the app and start over? You can press on a program, and decide it’s not the one only to be trapped in that program with no way out, the back button does nothing, only end works, which kills the app and you start all over. It’s really annoying! why not an back arrow like Netflix has? Simple but effective. this is not for the Apple TV streamer device, but the app on a TV. You use the remote of the TV to control the app.

Apple TV+ App Missing After iOS 18 Update on Apple TV 4K Hi, I recently updated my Apple TV 4K to iOS 18, and right after the update, the Apple TV+ app completely disappeared. It’s not on the home screen, and I can’t even find it using Siri search. I’ve already tried resetting my Apple TV, but the app is still missing. Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

On current versions iOS, the buttons should appear as soon as you play content that allows for the ‘skip 10 seconds’ controls.

For the difference with the other phone, is that running the same version iOS as you?
