Followed by “where is the back button.”

Answer: sometimes apps let you swipe right from the left margin, sometimes there may be a left arrow in the upper left, but it may not be visible unless you enable tinted Liquid Glass, but also look in the bottom left, there may be a less-than sign, and some times you have to force-quit the app and restart (like with Libby books borrowed via Kindle…)

You mean the “roulette-wheel do-something-vaguely-backish” button?

I can't remember the last time I've encountered an app that didn't let you swipe to go back. That's practically built into iOS at this point.

Does apply still sometimes put the back button in the top left?

That used to drive me nuts especially as they grew the phone to size 5+ inches
