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?
On Android the back button/back gesture is a single event, and its easy to intercept. On iOS the swipe gesture is part of the transition animation, so there’s not really a good place to intercept and ask the user.
Also, you can only swipe back at certain times after other app animations/transitions have completed, so it’s less of a problem on iOS.
