Yahoo News Slides Make IPhone Screen Slide

Since iOS 17, when I try to swipe between the 8 slides at the top of the Yahoo page, the entire screen slides horizontally so the slides are half off the screen. I have to swipe the other way to move them back to center and try again. It’s like the horizontal screen locking function doesn’t exist. Did iOS 17 muck that up too?

Split Screen options on Safari keep disappearing on iPad The three dot split screen options on Safari keeps disappearing. When this happens you have to minimize Safari to pick another app to share the screen with because the ‘Split View’ or ‘Slide Over’ are not available. This bug started with the latest update: 16.2.

Slide-over window only half visible when locked to portrait mode but using a full screen landscape app I updated to iPadOS 16.2 on my iPad Pro 11" 4th Gen and now have an issue where the slide over window orientates itself to portrait mode when my screen orientation is locked to portrait but I'm using an app that forces landscape mode. The problem is that it orientates itself based on the iPad, not the slide over window. This makes the slide over app completely unusable as the window only displays half of the screen. Does anyone have this issue as well?

Feedback on Home Page Swipe Experience in iPadOS 18 I noticed a change in the home page swipe behavior on iPadOS 18 compared to iPadOS 17, particularly when using an iPad. In iPadOS 17, swiping from the side of the screen with a certain distance and velocity would smoothly transition to the next page of the home screen icons. However, in iPadOS 18, performing the same swipe motion doesn’t seem to effectively trigger the page transition. It feels like I need either more force or a longer swipe to achieve the same outcome, which makes navigation less intuitive and a bit frustrating. I’m curious: Is this change intentional as part of the new gesture adjustments in iPadOS 18, or could this be an unintended usability issue? Has anyone else experienced similar difficulties in navigating between home pages on iPadOS 18?

Hey Seattlite1970,

Is this in a specific Yahoo app or using Safari on your iPhone? Also, do you notice this behavior only with Yahoo or other situations where you'd slide horizontally through content also do not work?

If this issue only occurs with Yahoo content it may be an issue with either their app or how their site is rendered on iOS. The best recommendation we can make would be to bring the issue to their attention.
