iPad Air Back button on Times

[RK78]

Back button on Times (NYTimes) with iPad Air gen 5, 18.7.1, unlike any of my other devices, including iMac, instead of going to latest location read, always goes back to home page. Kind of PITA to have this behaviour which often then requires scrolling all the way back down.

Anyone else experiencing this. If so, is there a possible fix?

I have this issue in OfferUp when viewing items for sale. Now, instead of returning to the previous location on the page, it returns me to the top of page. Beyond frustrating. I have yet to find where else this issue exists since the recent update.

There’s no fix. That’s the way the app works. If you’re on an article and from it you directly visit a second one, the back button takes you to the previous article, but there’s also a smaller link directly to the right of the back button that takes you all the way back to the home page (“Today”):

Well, one thing you can do is get rid of the app and open the website in Safari. I created a Home Screen icon for the NYT (open it in Safari, share, Add to Home Screen).

Also this way I can long-press a link and choose "open in background" so I can read articles I'm interested in later.

I do this (but without the Home Screen icon) and keep the app too, for the sake of the notifications.

Yes - I have the app on my phone for the notifications (which almost always come to my watch), but read the Times on my iPad the way that I said. I don't need the notifications on my iPad.
