Description
Description:
We use the Toast popup to display "Changes Saved" type messages during our add/edit flows. Since automatically returning the user to the previous screen after saving a phrase or category from the add/edit keyboard the toast no longer appears. Instead a small android notification bubble appears at the bottom of the screen.
It is possible that it is an Android issue and not something wrong with our source code.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Navigate to Settings > Categories and Phrases
- Tap the '+' button to bring up the keyboard
- Enter in the title of the new category and select the save button
Expected behavior
The user is immediately returned to the categories list screen with a Toast popup matching the following:

Actual Behavior
A small Android default notification popup bubble appears at the bottom of the screen.

Devices:
- Pixel 5 phone and Nexus 10 tablet (both emulated)
- Android 12 (both)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the save flow from Settings > Categories and Phrases on the listed Android 12 emulators, covering both category and phrase add/edit paths. Compare the current notification bubble with the provided previous-release Toast design; done means saving immediately returns to the list and displays the matching Toast.
