Just discovered that, on Android, you can swipe back from the forum view back to the list of forums.

That is so awesome. 🥇

So you can swipe back from a Topic to go to the Topic List of a forum, then up again to the list of sites with another swipe-back. 🚀

Read it and weep iOSers 😉

Swiping to go back/forward [also works](https://github.com/react-native-webview/react-native-webview/blob/master/docs/Reference.md#allowsbackforwardnavigationgestures) on the iOS app.

It does?! I tested this and had to fall back to the down chevron on the bottom bar … I’ll check again - did I have an old version of the app?

I should clarify, not to go back to the list of forums. But while you’re in a forum, it navigates that forum’s history, all the way up to the first opened page.

Oh meh, yes, was aware of that … no that’s just very good, but not awesome.

The Android app goes the whole way, and that is awesome.. 🤖 💪

appreciate you are working within Apple constraints

That would be horrible. I don’t want to browse history all the way back to forums, specially when I came in from clicking new.

Now I understand why those bot-owners are so jumpy — they never know where they are going and what destination will be 🤣

(I’m using swiping all the time on i-devices)
