Is there a chance we could get an option for collapsing the bottom bar to a single icon in the left corner on scroll, similar to e.g. what Music and Podcasts do? :)
We’re definitely still refining how we use the new design language, and we’ve played around with some iterations on that concept. The core challenge right now is retaining compatibility with iOS 18, which limits which new features we can use. For small components like the jump button it’s pretty easy to support both an iOS 18 and an iOS 26 version, but the tab bar is foundational to the whole app’s architecture so we probably won’t get to utilize the full extent of the new tab bar options until we drop support for iOS 18.
Ah I see, thanks for the detailed reply! I thought that would also just be an easily toggleable option on the stock tab bar design but if you’d have to do a lot of work around it I totally get that it’s not very feasible right now
