Android users: Thoughts on new beta feature? (vger.social)

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:

collapsed inline media

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?

Oh please yes! There have been so many times I've mistakenly pressed back from a post / post image, only to end up on the communities tab with no way to go back.

You can always add a "Don't ask again" checkbox on the popup for the people who don't need it.

I like that idea. Thanks :)

Seconded! It happens to me often using swipe controls and is incredibly frustrating.
