Swipe changing regular videos is the worst thing that's happend to the experience. I am not a tiktok child. My attention span is more than 12 seconds, I don't need the ability to immediately skip the video at the swipe of my fingers. Starting videos in full screen portrait mode plus making swipe down change videos seems like some sort of analytics boosting ploy or something. Who wanted this?! Swipe down from full screen should break free of full screen, that's it.

The message "All views of this video removed from history" won't disappear unless I refresh, which makes it hard to delete the videos I already watched, especially the shorts as I have to keep refreshing and delete them one at a time. Also when I pause a video for too long it'll kick me out the video and then I'll have to find it again to watch it. Just fix this and it's good!

PiP is not working - the controls in the small window don't work, you have to open the full screen app to do anything, and sometimes the PiP window just doesn't show at all. Occasionally the app opens in a video I never clicked and would not have, I'm assuming because the algorithm is pushing it? Some basic functions aren't working anymore and have gone unfixed for a while.
