Hi there! I understand you're noticing that Tubi's ad countdown now shows "1 of 1" and counts down for each ad individually, instead of showing "1 of 3," "2 of 3," and so on. That's a good observation! Could you tell me if this behavior is recent and if it's happening consistently across all shows or movies you watch on your iPhone with iOS 18.6? Also, have you updated the Tubi app recently?
From what I know, Tubi has made some changes to their ad formats and countdown displays around 2023 to 2025. They've shifted toward more interactive and streamlined ad experiences, which might explain why you now see a countdown for each ad separately instead of a grouped count. It seems designed to give a clearer view of each ad's length rather than the total number of ads per break4.
If you'd like, I can help you check if your app is up to date or guide you to reinstall it to ensure you're running the latest version reflecting these changes. Sometimes, outdated versions might show inconsistent behaviors.
Just to be sure we're covering all bases: 1. Go to the App Store on your iPhone. 2. Search for Tubi and see if an update is available. 3. If yes, update the app. 4. If the issue persists after updating, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Tubi app.
Would you like me to walk you through any of these steps? Or have you already tried them?
