Android app issue - back button

58 replies

Is anyone else having issues with the 'back' button on their phone booting them out of Mumsnet altogether when using the Android app? It normally takes me back to 'Active' but it's just started closing the app entirely. I'm on a Pixel 7, if that's relevant.

Hi everyone, apologies for the delayed update. We’re still investigating this and appreciate how frustrating it is.

If you’re able to, please let us know whether the problem also happens in a different browser or in a private/incognito tab. It would also help to know your device model, Android version and browser if you haven't already shared the information.

A short screen recording would be useful, as it may help us see the steps leading up to the issue and exactly how the page responds when Back is pressed. However, we appreciate there may be very little to see, so please don’t worry if you’re unable to provide one.

We haven’t yet been able to reproduce the problem on our test devices, but we’re continuing to investigate. Thank you for bearing with us.

Without tempting fate, it seems to have sorted itself. I didn't change anything but it has randomly gone back to working normally.

I'm on android/Samsung internet (not the app).⁷

Working here now (Edge) - thank you!

Just came here to see if there was a thread about this, as its just started happening to me in the android app!
When on a thread, my phone back button closes the MN app and takes me to my phone home screen rather than back to the list of threads in active.

Ah! And as a pp says up thread, clearing the cache of the MN app has solved the problem. And my cache was 750mb!
