As of 1.20.71 the D-Pad controls have been both reskinned and moved to a different location. The new location is offset from the previous location and makes reaching with your thumbs more difficult on many devices (especially an iPad).
Please revert the d-pad placement or allow it to be moved back to the previous location. "Customize Controls" does not allow it to be moved to the previous location on iPad 10th generation.
