Turn this feature on to see an additional filter to show only caches that have trackables in their inventory.

On 14SEP2022, I opened the Geocaching App to find the tabs at the bottom of the Map frozen (they used to auto hide). This is a major problem, because you have NO way of getting Longitude & Latitude with the Geocaching Map period! 
Now, even though I just shelled out $30 for the Annual Premium fee, plus a NEW fee for Premium “off line” maps of $2.99+ :antenna:

I cannot see a difference in numbers of caches on my map, whether the trackable filter is on or off.

 

You turn the feature on or off under settings.  Then, to activate the filter, you need to go to the filter icon at the top right of the screen and turn on the filter for trackables.  It made a tremendous difference in my local caching area!

Screenshot of my normal view, no filters applied, then where I selected to filter for caches with trackables, and then the result when the filter is applied.

The tabs at the bottom of the iPhone app have never auto-hidden, and there is no additional fee for off-line maps. Are you by chance seeing these things in a third-party app?

You got jipped. 

I occasionally use an iPhone for geocaching and I'm trying to imagine what you mean by the bottom tabs auto hiding.

I've found that once i turn on this feature, it is stopping my filter button from opening at all. Its such a shame because i think this would be a very handy tool. I'm about to go away, so thought it would be great to grab a trackable or 2 & take then with me, but currently i cannot get this feature to work

Thanks for reporting this. I can repro on my device. It will probably take a little while to fix this. In the meantime, a workaround to get at this filter if you need it:

1. Toggle on "Empty D/T grid search" in Experimental features in addition to "Caches with trackables"

2. Go to Profile > Statistics

3. Tap "Fill your grid"

That will open the Filters screen and then you can apply the "Caches with trackables" filter.
