just realised iOS apps now let you do the swipe back gesture from anywhere on the screen, rather than just the left edge. nice! most apps ended up reimplementing this anyway so I’m glad the default is changing for the better

looks like it’s coming to react-native-screens 🔜 can’t wait! full screen back gesture always came with a bunch of compromises and caveats in RN so I’m so happy it’s been fixed once and for all

I need to do a tier list of all the iOS26 changes I think lol S: this A: LG tab bar, sheets matching phone bezels B: new keyboard C: LG buttons in general F: LG buttons in the headers (so huge!)

hmm I see the argument. tbh I feel this mostly on the GitHub app but less so on the Apple ones - maybe this is on GitHub to rethink how many buttons they’re putting up there

Yes. Screens have a custom implementation for full screen swipe that can enabled with a prop. With the next version it will however default to the native full screen swipe behavior

The updated UI framework does feel like the biggest step taken in a few years. Liquid glass isn’t even the most interesting part of iOS 26

This makes me rage quit apps when they also don’t maintain the old view position.

You can try it out on the BlueSky app for example. Swiping left/right changed the feed you’re in but if you’re in a post or the far-left feed it’ll go back
