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”):
