In the new FordPass app, it would be nice if the app allowed one to swipe back and forth, between menus/screens.
Once you're within a section of the app, away from the main screen, you can't simply swipe left or right, i.e., back and forth (on iOS). You must use the arrow in the top left corner.

Honestly, why?

You absolutely can swipe to go back (on iOS). The only place you cannot are a few areas under Account.

I’ve been told that will be fixed. Notably, this was something I hammered on with that team during my tenure and quite a pet peeve of mine.

Unless you’re talking about swiping between tabs. That will never happen and frankly shouldn’t.

Oh, I stand corrected!
I just 'forcibly' tried again, and it worked (within sections, not tabs).
Examples:
Vehicle \ Location - swipe back
Vehicle \ Settings - swipe back

Think of it as a drawer, not a tab. The mnemonic has always been (unless the UI was programmed incorrectly) to allow movement between items in the drawer, not between drawers. ?‍♂?

...right, I get it now.

The problem with my use was that it appeared I was not as forceful/deliberate, when swiping left to right. Thus, I took it that it simply couldn't be done...
