No, it doesn’t work that way on iOS in my experience. Swipe from the side of the screen is application-specific.
Swipe from left is always “go back to where you were previously” or “go back to the main menu of this application.” Swipe from right does nothing unless the application defines it.
The Independent’s feature might override an iOS browser’s “Forward” feature, if you already used the “Back” feature.
I think they’re much more likely ignorant to this than malicious.
Never heard of dark patterns? There’s a history of websites doing shitty things like this on purpose
I have, I think ignorance of a niche android setting is far more likely.
A website that big is probably malicious, as I feel like iPhone has the same gesture (don’t quote me on that)
