Author: jake89 Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 08:28 It looks like since upgrading to Android 16 the swipe back feature no longer works in the app. Instead of going back it now closes the app meaning you need to use the back arrow in the app instead. Not a big issue but thought worth flagging it in case it was useful to know. Reply |

I updated the app a few days ago when I noticed there was going to be an issue with the new edge-to-edge stuff in Android, but didn’t notice the swiping issue. Hopefully it won’t be a tricky issue to solve. This is my signature Reply |

| 4. Author: Milos Drizzle Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 18:25 Just trying it out on the simulator, and it looks like there’s quite a generous zone on the left-hand side of the screen that will close the app if you start swiping from there. If you start the swipe nearer the centre of the screen it shouldn’t activate the close app gesture. Can you confirm? (I don’t have a physical Android device to test). I’ll see if there’s a way to stop that gesture, or at least reduce the size of the area that activates it. This is my signature Reply |

Author: Milos Drizzle Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 18:44 Reading the documentation, it doesn`t look like it`s even possible to suppress that gesture, as it is system-wide (not app-specific), and users will expect that "standard behaviour". It`s something you`ll need to get used to... When swiping back in the .net app, just start your finger a bit further in from the left-hand-side (experiment to see where the zone is on your device, and commit it to muscle memory!).

| 7. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 22:17 And you are right! Just need to swipe in the middle instead. Thanks for looking into this. Reply |
