Come to ask the same question. This is a pretty big feature to lose for me. So much so that I was on verge of purchasing 2 of the newer cameras partly because of this function. Looks like I’ll hold fire until we can find out if this will return.
Hi Jay, if you force close the app, then open it again the older user interface will be back with the SD card playback timeline available when tapping the live view screen. Let me know if you that helps!
I am not sure if “force closing” an app is a “thing” on Apple iPhones? Maybe try deleting the app, then re-downloading it? I just installed the “Kami Home” app and it works exactly the same way the old Yi app did. I am satisfied again.
No need to delete the application on a iPhone. Force closing or swiping up to ensure the application is fully closed then reopening it will return the Yi Home application to the state people preferred.
As per Apple Support:
Force close an app
- On an iPhone X or later, or an iPad with iOS 12 or later, or iPadOS, from the Home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, double-click the Home button to show your most recently used apps
- Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close.
- Swipe up on the app’s preview to close the app.
Those with a physical home button double click it then from the app preview swipe up to close it.

I don’t like this new app from Kami home…
Please could back the old version or fix the timeline on the scree to make playback like before and can see the time action too…
Regards

Is there any solution to getting the new update back to being able to view the timeline on the full screen again? This update basically renders my cameras useless. I can’t believe that it happened again! Any help appreciated??
This did not work for me

Super disappointing! Considering after the last failed rollout they went and did it again shows they really don’t care about the end user. I hope they decide to roll it back, and not mess with it again – all I’ve gotten is radio silence from @Steven_Kami and @YorkshireUser which leads me to believe they are A.) busy dealing with the roll back, or 2.) don’t give one 
about the end user!!

Totally agree. The annoying thing is features have been removed that we had when we bought the cameras

Some things are fixed but when you try to go back and record a video or take a photo in the mobile app There is no timeline!!! Or time /date. You may see it there beforehand. But look in your photos. No date stamp or time. This is ridiculous with this company. They ruin a good thing. FIX THIS Yi HOME!!
Is anyone else running the ios app on an ipad pro having the “full screen” view go sideways?
I go to full screen and the view is rotated 90 degrees so it is sideways. Turn the ipad 90 degrees and the view will also spin and still remain sideways.
Here is the first view and then the full screen view.
This was not an issue until the update a few days ago.
I have the same problem on iPad iOS 15 but not on earlier iOS
Need time stamp and recording fixed app still not as good as it was
Is your sideways? I have a partial fix if needed.
Yes it is please advise
Ok, my fix allows me to view full screen in landscape mode/orientation on the device. This is on my ipad pro.
Turn the device so it is in portrait mode/orientation.
Swipe from the top right corner diagonally towards the lower left (green arrow). You should see the little menu of icons open up like in the picture.
Press the icon indicated by the yellow arrow. It should turn red. This locks the screen into portrait mode or no rotation.
Open YI and select the camera to view. Should look normal with the little picture at the top and recent events below.
Tap the full screen arrows and the full screen should open and rotate 90 degrees.
NOW, if it is all set ok then when you turn the device to landscape orientation the full screen view should remain and not rotate as you rotate the device.
Have tried it but still not right I have iOS 15 on iPad which compounds problems still waiting for proper update or fix thank you for replying
