Description

AFAIK, there are two ways to back:

  • the Back button at the top left
  • put your finger to the far left border of the screen and swiping right

Unfortunately, neither allow easy single handed operation. My thumb is not big enough to comfortably reach all the way left.

The default Swipe Right action is Reply. I would like the ability to select Back as an option.

Thanks!
Tom

Research direction

Start by locating the existing swipe-right action that triggers Reply and the Back navigation entry point. Add Back as a selectable action for that gesture while preserving Reply as the default, then verify that swiping right navigates back when configured.
