Description
**Description**
Thread with video [here](https://internetarchive.slack.com/archives/C2J59B3KJ/p1713344494577239).
Long story short is that newer iPads without a home button have a [home indicator](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiviewcontroller/2887510-prefershomeindicatorautohidden) / "home bar" / bottom bar type thing that gets in the way and prevents you from navigating. It is a pretty big issue.
**Evidence / Screenshot (if possible)**
**Expectation**
It should work well on iPads with ability to drag the slider instead of just tapping in some places.
**Context**
> What operating system? What browser type and version?
iPad OS 17.4
