Now when watching a normal video you can scroll up and down to new videos like you can with shorts. The problem is, it's extremely easy to tap the screen to check the runtime and have it register as a swipe up, which no matter how small completely restarts the video. The UI still says to swipe up to browse suggested videos, however doing so just skips to a completely separate video. You can't even swipe down to access your phone's drop down menu, as this switches to you previous video instead.

They have appeared to fix the issues I was having with a more recent update. Back to working the way it should. Original: The recent update has made the app unusable. If you pause a video it won't start playing again. You have to exit the video. When you go back into the video and try to fast forward using the slider to where you were, it freezes and won't play.

This current update is still terrible. You've walked back any improvements made to fix the last set of issues. Once again, every video I view restarts from the beginning when I accidentally swipe to a new video, which is frustrating since I did not want to do that. Why do we need to swipe up or down to start a new video to begin with. Also, anytime I scroll the video, it pauses and won't unpause unless I play a different video or close the app. I'm uninstalling the update until this is fixed.
