Pressing 'Back' Button on Mobile Doesn't Close Attachment
Common issue in website interfaces, but
Pressing the 'Back' button on mobile after opening an attachment doesn’t close the popup but instead takes the user to the previous page. This is a common and frustrating UX problem, especially on Android. We suspect this may be limited by browser behavior and might only be fully fixable in a native app.
The ideal experience is simple: hitting 'Back' should close the image popup first, not navigate away. We haven’t found a current service that nails this UX perfectly, but we’re keeping an eye out for solutions.
This issue is related to similar panel overlay problems we've dealt with before. We’ve bumped it up in priority and marked it complete in review, trusting that future fixes will build on what we’ve learned.By mypossibleteam
