iOS Saffari back button
Why do I have to open up the sidebar to use my back button in Saffari for iOS? Remember when apple used to hold back stuff so that they made sure the products worked flawlessly? Yeah, me too.

I’m unable to replicate your issue on any iPad. Regardless of screen orientation, the page forward and back buttons remain visible whether or not the Safari Sidebar is active:
Try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
- Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
- Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
- Press and hold the top button.
- When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
If the problem persists, a reset of your iPad settings may help. Resetting your iPad settings will not impact your locally stored data:
