Hello, on the IOS mobile app, every article I open scrolls from side to side even when nothing is to the side. It scrolls as if there was a long horizontal table if that makes sense. I believe the bug is due to unloaded pictures being much larger than their loaded counterparts, and on articles with only one picture, that picture perfectly fits my screen. Once I load every picture, it goes back to normal and I can’t scroll side to side. I assume that this happens because the app shrinks the pictures to fit my screen, and so when they are not loaded, their original size is shown. If clarification is needed then please let me know.

Within the last couple weeks, I’ve noted persistent overscroll behavior on the vast majority of Wikipedia pages I visit in the app. It’s as though the top image width exceeds the viewport, leaving large amounts of white space to the right of all the text blocks. It makes reading Wikipedia very difficult.

Hope you can fix this, or suggest a fix. FWIW, I’ve already tried to correct it by deleting and reinstalling the app.

"When you click a tab, it loads past the tab and goes to the next subject. Broken since the last update."
