iOS 13.6

Description:

I just had to write this down due to how unusual it is. With the Snailz - Nail Salon Booking app, the user basically gets stranded on the "Reset Password" screen.

There's no arrow to back out. There is no back button. I have rarely (perhaps never) seen a password reset screen that lacked a way for the user to back out.




Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the Snailz app for iOS
2. Select the "Log In" option
3. Select the "Reset Here" link next to "Forgot Password?"
4. Attempt to back out of the "Reset Password" screen

Result: There does not seem to be a way to back out of the "Reset Password" screen - there is no back button or arrow

Expected: There should be a back button or arrow on the "Reset Password" screen

An app called Kwai has a common problem. Two links, the Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions links, on the Twitter Oauth log-in page are dead.

Clicking on these two links:
