Just like the title says, I’d love to know if there’s some way to turn off the feature that makes a video rewind or jump forward when I swipe across the screen while the video is in fullscreen. I’ve triggered it by accident many times, often while picking up or putting down my phone, and it’s really annoying.
iPhone 8, iOS 14
Came here for the same thing. It’s such a stupid feature. If I want to prop my phone up to watch hands free, I have to use my index and thumb to get under the lip of my phone case. Can’t believe this made it through.
Hey there and welcome to Apple Support Communities OzzyUncia,
We can certainly understand your concern and can help provide some insight.
This feature can not be disabled. We recommend leaving feedback for this particular subject. Your feedback is vital to Apple's goal of finding new ways to improve products and services.
Kindest regards!
This feature is absolutely trash!! Needs to be able to be disabled. I am SHOCKED this even passed testing for ADA compliance. Its the worst thing apple has ever done to a UI

You cant disable this? You've got to be kidding thats absurd. This made me regret updating thats outrageous. Im constantly rewinding and jumping forward by accident.
+1 … horrible feature. Please fix this Apple. There’s a bar in a video for scrolling - just leave it at that. Not every “new feature” is helpful. If you make a screen that goes right up to the edge of a device, making every accidental touch do something that is difficult to quickly undo is not a good “feature”.
Exactly.
Please have a option for this feature, it’s so annoying to have on all the time, or instead of the bottom of screen maybe a certain section but the bottom and sides are not the way, super super annoying happens multiple times a day for me
This is a horrible feature and you think someone would have at least couple of brain cells to add a simple enable disable but no the team which has designed this feature doesn’t have anyone with couple of brain cells
It is an amazing feature especially for one handed use for phone with big screens. Looks like this feature has been taken away in ios17
Apple: I H-A-T-E this feature. I’ve put up with it until now, but I just can’t stand it anymore. Why would you completely change existing functionality of a gesture and not have a way to revert it through settings??? We *already had* a progress bar in videos along the bottom to scrub through videos — never needed this!
ADD A FEATURE TOGGLE!!!
Oh my god- this feature is the worsr. I avoid using the appletv app like the plague due to this. SO annoying
That’s ridiculous
hola, a mi también me ha dejado de funcionar en iOS 17.
sabes como activarla de nuevo?
gracias por adelantado
hola, pienso q es una característica muy útil.
en iOS 17, he visto q no esta
por favor, habilitadla de nuevo, o al menos dad la opción a los que queremos tenerla.
gracias
Turning off swipe to fast forward/rewind video?
