Think going back in a browser, going back to the list of contacts from a specific message thread in a messaging app, etc. Swiping from the left works in most apps, but not all of them. The back button works everywhere.
- robswc 4y agoI suppose there is definitely a benefit to having a universal back button. I just can't say I've used it much, even on my samsung tablet. There's always some sort of button to get "back" to where I was. Just tried on messenger, youtube and instagram. All the "back" buttons were in the top left. Guess I never really paid much attention to that.
- lozenge 4y agoHalf the apps on Android are more interested in keeping you in the app. If I follow a link from Messages to a Twitter post and press Back, I end up on my Twitter feed, even if I never use it. TikTok is most blatant, putting refresh on the back button, with two back presses actually quitting.
