How do I force a library scan from the mobile app?

In the old android add, I could long press the library in the left hand menu, and then scan. There’s no left hand menu anymore, and if I long press the library my phone just vibrates. How do I force a scan, instead of waiting until the Server does the next scheduled scan?

You don’t, yet. It’s been announced that the feature will be coming to the new app, however:

But, as mentioned, right now you can use Plex Dash.

Follow up question: how do I go back to the old app until basic functionality is available?

Uninstall the Plex app from your device, and download and install the appropriate APK from the official announcement thread:

Oh, and turn off automatic updates for apps on your device, if possible.

Thanks. I get that companies want to progress apps, but now that I read the post about the features the new app is missing, it definitely has a vibe of that it was released about 6 months too early.

Its initial release definitely would have benefited from a little more time in the oven.
