A few weeks ago, I noticed that when I click on a feed, the screen just freezes. I can’t scroll and I have to exit the app. Also, when I scroll, it doesn’t register the stories as read. I have to go into each individual one and then hit the next button in order for the app to work. This is not how it has worked in the past.
This is the first I’ve heard of this, so I’m going to need some more information. Is this reproducible? Does this happen every time?
The mark read on scroll setting ahs been changed in the latest version. It was on a per-feed and per-folder basis but I changed it to be a global setting. You can change/verify it under the settings dropdown or set it in the main Preferences dialog.
Screenshots would also help!
I made a screen recording, but was unable to upload it here. In the recording, you see I visit two different feeds, and when I go to scroll down to see the stories, nothing happens. In order for me to advance to the next article, I have to go into the story and hit the “next” button rather than scrolling down to see the stories I want to see. I used two different, unrelated sites to show you that it is not specific to one site. If you give me an email, I can send the screen record.
I didn’t realize the change in the “read” option to let me go and change that now.

I’ve been getting this behaviour. Feels like I can scroll for a bit on a feed but then it stopes and I need to find somewhere else on the page to scroll from
I can’t provide a video reproduction as touches aren’t rendered in iOS screen recordings… but this bug has made the app near unusable for me
The web version of my computer has no issues. It’s just the iOS version – and only for certain fees. Some feeds I have absolutely no problem, and other feeds (like 9to5mac) it happens every time
I’ve been encountering the same issue on iOS 26.5 iPhone 16 pro.

The only story feature that functions at the moment for me are the Daily Briefings.
I noticed this issue about the time that duplicate stories were introduced into feeds.
The issue seems to be solved by just reinstalling the app.
Confirmed reinstalling fixes this issue. Bizarre. Thanks @Artika!

Okay, made some more investigations.
Reinstalling resets app preferences. The issue returned when I set the list style to Experimental, and disappeared when I set it back to Standard
