I’ve been super annoyed at some bugs in iOS Safari. In particular, double tap to zoom on web pages is completely broken. It’s a really old feature that just suddenly stopped working in the new iOS release.


That reminds me, during iOS 8, the Safari back button was broken for VoiceOver users. For half a year. They fixed it a few months before the next release :-(


Yep just noticed this today. Why remove this feature ? Did people complain about this during beta and Apple ignore it. Although zooming in by pinching and then double tapping reverts to original size which is nowhere near as useful. Fingers crossed for a point release that brings this back.


It's actually still around, however on some pages Safari will go into some sort of weird state where scrolling is slightly broken (you can't overscroll and have the page bounce back is the indicator that you're in the broken state). When you're in that state, double tapping to zoom doesn't work either. I find that I mostly encounter this bug on Reddit.


Thing is, it’s not removed. It’s just broken. Very very rarely the zoom will kind of work, just not where and when I expect it to.
