Description
This came up recently with the graphics crew so writing up an issue to capture discussion/consensus about it.
For the same reason that Android touch events are disabled on interactive articles (https://github.com/guardian/dotcom-rendering/pull/14112), carousels (https://github.com/guardian/dotcom-rendering/pull/12987), and live blog key events (https://github.com/guardian/dotcom-rendering/pull/12836), is there a case to be made to do the same for standalone embeds? The limited touch event functionality caused by Android's 'swipe to next article' feature blocks a fair few designs from getting off the ground.
Alternatively, maybe we deprecate the 'swipe to next article' feature?
