Video Playback Slider Broken in iOS

**Tried to provide feedback to Ring on an issue with the app but there is no place to submit feedback anywhere. Everything directs you to this Ring Community. Not sure if others are having the same issue but, for the past few weeks, the timer slide bar when playing back videos is broken. For example, a video may be 1 min long and the countdown on both sides works fine (i.e. the left counter increases and the right counter decreases as the video plays). But the dot along the timeline that should slide across the bar doesn’t move. It stays at zero the entire length of the video playback. So you can't slide back and forth to fast forward or rewind to different spots in the video. I have a Video Doorbell Pro and access my videos on iOS running 13.5.5 on both iPhone and iPad. Oddly enough, the slider works fine on the native Mac app. **

Perhaps try signing out of apps and back in or even deleting the apps and reloading

      Deleted apps on iPhone and iPad then reinstalled but didn't solve the problem. Works fine in web versions of Ring and also the native Mac app but not in iOS apps. You can see in the attached the video is :26 into a 1:00 video but the slider dot is stuck all the way to the left.

        I wouldn't say this is cosmetic. This directly impacts functionality. If the slider in the app doesn't work, that's broken functionality.

        It is now coming up on a month since this problem was reported. Since this is a so called cosmetic bug why the long delay in getting fixed?

        Same problem. Come on, Ring, please fix this! In addition to the slider stopping, when manually moving the slider with my finger to fast forward, the beginning of the video repeats.Therefore, you can't tell whether something has happened twice, or it's just a defect in the video playback.

      You’re not alone. I have an iPhone XS and my husband have an iPhone 7 most updated iOS and it doesn’t work for us either. I’ve even tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
