Hey Voyager users!

I added a new feature for Android users (does not affect iOS). It’s currently available in beta. Basically, if you try to swipe back from home/all/local you will see a popup asking you to confirm:

This was added after a lot of feedback from Android users: https://vger.social/post/29745268

It’s a configurable setting (General -> Other -> Confirm Back from Home/All/Local).

My question is: Should this be on by default? Or not? As an android Voyager user, have you experienced this problem where you accidentally swipe back to the communities list? Or have you not experienced this problem?

    Having this on by default with a “never ask again” option (which can then be turned back on in settings) would be ideal.

    This gets me all the time. And to be clear, it’s not just swipe to go back, it’s the back button as well.

      Its swipe to go back or the hardware back button. The in app back button on the top left won’t have the confirm. It probably should, but I’ll need to figure out a good way to handle that too if people want it.

        Okay yeah. I don’t think I use that as often or that it would catch me the same way.
