I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.... in Messages on iOS 16 and before, couldn't you swipe right anywhere on the left side of the screen to get back to the main list? In iOS 17, I have to reach all the way to the top-left arrow to go back, a more daunting task on my new larger screen. Absolute torture! Or, am I missing something?
You can’t swipe right if the keyboard is up. If you have the full-screen message view, you can swipe - but if the keyboard is up you have to use the arrow.
