Googled and found this,hope it helps.

Is there any update on having full screen swipe to go back?

This app is great btw and thank you for all the time and effort you put into it.

No, can only do that on android, seems like there’s no way to do that on iOS yet unfortunately.

I switched over to lemm.ee and haven’t had any issues since.

Posting this comment from Mlem. What instance do you use? I’m posting from lemm.ee

It’s there, click on your profile on the bottom and you’ll see hidden on there.

Awesome! That’s the only thing missing that’ll make this app 100% great in my eyes, it’s already 99% there. Appreciate all your hard work.

Does this mean in the future we could get swipe to go back from anywhere on the screen?

You’re right. I don’t know what to type so this helps.

If it helps, since I created the post, for me it shows only 4 comments. So I have no idea why it would try to show more replies.

Me too! Haha

So far everything is working GREAT!
