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 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!

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.
