Has anyone noticed recently that in iPad iOS during safari video playback you can no longer use the double tap to skip forward 10 seconds similar to YouTube?
have they taken it away? Or is it a bug
i not hate how awful and clumsy the skip is being done in ios13.1.2
iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 2nd Gen, Wi-Fi
I had the same problem and I was frustrated as well. If you go to Safari on settings and scroll down to settings for websites, by disabling “request desktop websites” it will reload pages in “iPad” format allowing you to skip videos as before. Hope it helps!

Hello,
Thank you for the clarification. This was never a feature of Safari’s native video player so videos played outside of
YouTube do not inherit the double tap feature.
Does anyone have any other ideas about how to solve this? I updated to iOS 13.2 on my iPad yesterday, and now I cannot double tap to skip forward on any Safari videos. I also would have to manually scrub, which is incredibly inefficient.
Hello,
I suggest that you reach out to YouTube’s support for assistance.
Brilliant. That solved it. Much appreciated my friend. Cheers
On YouTube, it doesn't take me 10 seconds to go back and forth. I reinstalled the application, it worked for a few hours and then the same problem appeared. What can I do? I should mention that I have the option enabled from Setup on YouTube, but it still doesn't work ... I also made a restart and so it is ...
This drove me Potty. The fix suggested by a user above (about changing safari settings) didnt help.
resolution: stream vids on chrome rather than safari. In fullscreen mode you once again have the 15 second bump option.
(i mean really ... even the GOT intro eventually gets on your nerves when you’re binge watching)
I think you misunderstand me. In YouTube the double tap skip feature works fine. But when playing another videos through safari you now can’t do the double tap to skip thing. It’s Super annoying.
zmclearan that’s not true. You could double tap any video in safari and it would skip 10 seconds. This feature started in iOS 12. Not with iOS 13 it’s gone. The question is how do we turn it back on, or is it’s elimination intentional to force people to hate using Safari. There must be someone who knows the answer.
