QuickSwipe is a new tweak that brings swipe to dismiss functionality to videos playing in mobile Safari. The tweak is extremely simple and focused, contains no preferences, and is good to go upon installation.
After respring, begin playing a video in Safari and perform a swipe down gesture to dismiss the video and go back to the browser. If you find it annoying to have to tap the “Done” button to close a full screen video, then QuickSwipe is a tweak that you may enjoy using.
Here is a GIF animation that shows QuickSwipe in action:
As you can see, QuickSwipe doesn’t add any extra UI elements to the video playing interface. Swiping on the screen basically simulates the tapping of the Done button which will cause the video player to close.
The developer of QuickSwipe, nin9tyfour, created the tweak specifically for Safari, but states that it will probably work in other apps that play videos as well.
QuickSwipe is available free of charge on the BigBoss repo. Try it out, and let me know how you enjoyed it down below in the comments.
