I have to press it like a physical button as opposed to "tap".
In devices with 3D touch, it was a hard press and with devices without 3D touch, it's a long press.
Admittedly it’s not a very intuitive/discoverable design.
Imagine my frustration when I tried doing the same on my iPhone, thankfully a google search saved me much future hassle.
Edit: also in case anyone from Apple is reading this, I’m also constantly accidentally switching to the tab overview screen when I attempt to scroll down, which is a new annoying gesture I never ran into before and now wish I could disable.
Edit 2: my typing is also less accurate now too. I don’t have any hard evidence here, but anecdotally I am CONSTANTLY typing “abd” now instead of “and,” which makes no sense at all, given autocorrect.
Another problems with iOS 15: some videos are entirely black while playing. I looked into this and turned off a GPU acceleration option, but that only fixed about 60% of videos.
My client is available on iOS, MacOS and Android:

My app is the only app as far as I know which supports push notifications for HN comments on your post/replies. It is also highly customizable with themes, fonts, colors etc, supports voting, favoriting, commenting with your HN account, reader mode for browser, android supports article to speech.
The iOS one has been out for few years now and regularly updated. The Android one is about 3 months old so feedback is welcome.
Just one small feedback (for Android client): currently it for some reason makes the virtual button bar at the bottom (assuming the user enables it, like me) transparent, which makes it very hard to see: https://imgur.com/a/a8KTw5f (the second screenshot shows what it looks like in a typical app).
If I navigate to the comments, then click the article, about 50% of the time, navigating back to the comments doesn’t work. It loads for a little while, but then just displays a static view of the linked article. If I hit back again, I’m on the HN homepage, then I can hit forward to return to the comments and all is fine again. It’s really bizarre.
Safari has been behaving stupidly too: I type n, I see the autocomplete for news.ycombinator appear, I press the Go key… it searches Google for “n”. It’s maddening.

Also, other browsers like Brave, Chrome etc on iOS all use the same WKWebView so I am doubtful there would be difference.
I am the developer of iOS, macOS and Android client called HACK which you can try out if you like.
Perhaps it’s related or perhaps I’m losing my mind.
But as another poster said, some of the gestures in Safari can also lag a bit. It's not nice. :(
Unrelated, but any Reddit thread with more than a handful of comments will reliably crash/reload/crash Safari/iOS for me. It's been quite effective as I usually leave the site and save myself time. Haven't been able to work out if it's common to others or something unique about my phone/setup.
Responsiveness on pinch zooming feels very different also.
So lost :/
