iOS “Filter By” folder bug

Plex Players Mobile Devices

Server Version#: 1.42.1.10060
Player Version#: 2025.22.0

Today, I was browsing my movie library using the latest iOS Plex app (on the “Browse” tab) and clicked the “Filter by” button (which is the name of the library in the filter option buttons). I chose the “folders” option expecting to see all my movie folders, but instead I see the message

No Results

Your library is empty

This is an issue, but the reason I’m posting is that those filter option buttons are now no longer visible on the screen, so I cannot switch back to the default poster view. Perhaps I’m missing something, but this feels like a bug. I don’t have access to an android phone, so I can’t test this on the android platform, but I assume this issue exists there too.

Any thoughts on how I can reset things so I can browse my movie library again?

Switch temporarily to the Categories tab and pick any of the genres listed there.
This is nothing but another way to filter the library view by genre and thus will override your previously set filter.

Awesome, thanks! That worked! Do you know if this is a known issue or is there some way I can log it to the Plex backlog?

I got the same bug now when filtering by labels and got combination with no results and now cant change filter due to missing buttons. Definitely annoying bug

Yes, this is in the list of known bugs.
