Sorry, yes I am referring to the Jailbreak tweak SwipeBack. Is that what you're talkin about too?

You said "the issue is not me, it's Apple." How is an issue with a Jailbreak tweak Apple's fault?
Yes, so it does technically belong in Jailbreaks forum. I have since tried my best to post everything in the correct sub forum as I've realized this annoys people.
Swipe works for back and forward in iOS 7 native apps and updated apps that started supporting this new feature of iOS 7.
Correct. In Safari for example if I go back a page or two swiping left to right I can go forward again swiping right to left.
Not in Safari, I can do it there. I'm talking about everywhere, particularly Messages, Facebook, Twitter, and Mail.
So in those cases you are saying if you are in a message and went back to the main message index screen you then want to be able to swipe "forward" to go back to the message you were on before? Just trying to understand the forward usage in apps outside of a browser essentially.
I see. I can't say I ever really considered needing or wanting that kind of functionality in something outside a browser (and don't even end up using it that much in the browser). Don't think it exists in other apps in genral (as forward is not as much of a universal type of feature overall) unless they perhaps implemented something like that themselves.
It was available in SwipeBack on iOS 5.01. I used it a TON. I am furious that I upgraded, some of my most used tweaks don't work and I was told here they did.
Facebook and Twitter are third party apps. As of now, it does not work the same way there as it does in stock iOS apps.
In messages and mail, there is only the gesture to go back. The forward gesture does not apply I messages and mail with the thought that you are selecting from various messages, therefore it's up to the user to select which one to view.
That's up to them,,I mean, they both have very different functions. In twitter, now, swiping left and right brings you to different sections, home, discovery and activity. In Facebook, swiping right can being you back or to the menu screen. Swiping left can being you back or open chat. It's so specific to each thirty app and 100% up to them. Apple has nothing to do with it.
