[request] change backbutton behavior on Android

Platform

iOS
Android

Obsidian Mobile version: v0.0.17

When I open a submenu in the settings menu, the android OS back button closes the whole menu instead of bringing me back to the main settings menu.

Could this be changed so the back button acts the same as the small back arrow on top of the menu? This is how most android apps function

I support this request, its pretty unintuitive behavior

Totally agree!

The mobile version is built on Capacitor, and there’s a module in capacitor for this. I’m attempting to add a listener for the mobile back button in my plugin now. Ping me if I forget to update here this week.

This was implemented a long time ago
