Hello folks ^\_−☆ Love the Brave app and use it daily but I do have one long-standing complaint and I couldn’t find it mentioned on the forum. While using the iOS version of the app on iPhone SE3, when I swipe up to access the Control Centre, I find the tabs in the browser change(；ω；) I understand the app must have a built in “swipe up to change tab” function but I couldn’t find a way to turn it off for my phone. Anyone know if this is an option (always a chance I missed it) or if it can be implemented in an update? Thanks v much（╹◡╹）❤ ---

@Jenna2L just to clarify, when you swipe up, does it simply switch the tab that is in focus, or does it rearrange that open tabs you have? ---

Thank for helping Mattches 🙂 It’s the first one, the tab will just change to another one ---

Interesting – we’re not able to reproduce on our end. Would it be possible for you to share a short screen recording of the behavior so we can get a clearer picture of what exactly is happening on your end? ---

It happens because you can swipe along the bottom area to change tabs. So any swiping action around the bottom of the screen will most likely trigger this. It’s a problem I’ve been dealing with since I downloaded the app a few months ago and it’s seriously affecting the experience. All that needs to be added is a setting to turn off swiping on the bottom bar to switch tabs. I love brave but I’m going to have to switch to another browser soon if this isn’t fixed because it’s insanely frustrating to keep switching back to where I was every time I open the app. I have screen recorded this but as a new user I can’t upload media, so the link is here: [https://share.internxt.com/sh/file/3766e28d-e5af-46ea-8b7a-89f740e22c41/3bea859b101bc04af46e3190bc3ec194e76d37829e2095c2294abc87b882f37b](https://share.internxt.com/sh/file/3766e28d-e5af-46ea-8b7a-89f740e22c41/3bea859b101bc04af46e3190bc3ec194e76d37829e2095c2294abc87b882f37b) Please add an option to turn this off 🙏 ---
