Double tap on the right to skip forward, double tap on the left to skip back. ---

Legend. Thank you! I clearly missed it or didn’t Didn’t see that noted in any update notes. I was at a loss how to get it working. Didn’t even think to try fancy new things like double tap! ---

It was added a while back, but since the buttons have been there until recently, folks, myself included, didn’t notice the added functionality until the buttons were removed. > [@Plex for Mobile (Android & iOS)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-for-mobile-android-ios/909610/19): > > Plex for Android 2025.25.0 ([Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexapp.android)) Plex for iOS 2025.25.0 ([App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/plex-watch-live-tv-and-movies/id383457673)) NOTE: Timings for submissions, approvals, and releases in the app stores can vary.

This “new/better” functionality is utter rubbish. It does not work consistently… I want to skip a certain amount of time forward or backward. In the past i could press the button right next to the play button e.g. 5 times in quick succession and the result was perfect. Now, first of all it is not intuitive and in theory would require the double amount of presses. But the biggest problem is, that after the first seek forward it just toggles the display of the overlay and does not seek further. @PlexTeam please bring back the old functionality, we are fine if this needs to be toggled on in the settings.
