PWA has no "back" button

[ust]

Affected version

2.3 Beta 6

All 2.3-Betas up to 6 have no "Back" button in the Progressive Web Application. The "Up" button is visible and usable, the "Back" button not.

I think that button was only there on my account.

In 2.2.x it is there. Anyway: swiping right (with thumb or two fingers) is a feasible solution - you only have to know about it. (At least on iOS 17.x)

from what i remember reading it was added when pwa support was added for ios devices. though i could not find that mention again.

when i updated my 2.2.5 build to a more recent build, it arrived on it and was visible on androids as well. though i never saw it here on xf community pwa which was quite weird. seeing that back button was annoying initially but i learnt to ignore it eventually.

it disappeared when i installed beta builds and haven't seen it so far as you mentioned. i am sort of fine in either case. though i would prefer if it was optional on androids at least.

It was there in 2.3 at one point I’m pretty sure. It’s gone missing. I’ve looked everywhere. Can’t find it. We’ll track it down and bring it back.

Consider making it a style property like Display page jump buttons on scroll!

It's in the interweb void, somewhere

If I was a betting man, and a drinking man, I'd happily bet a pint that this won't happen. As it is, I'll just say that if it happens, I'll eat my hat. Albeit an edible chocolate flavour hat.
