Feature suggestion - pop up confirmation before exiting app when using the Back button on Android (self.jerboa)

I end up backing out of the app a lot, especially from the search. Having the back button from the search window not exit the app and go back home is a solution for that partícular issue, but a popup to confirm backing out of the app would help in multiple situations.

I think any feature change like this should be optional though.

(I'm coming from RIF and it had this feature.)

I like the back button scrolling to the top and refreshing the feed tbh. And then another back button press exits the app

I just came here to post this! Reddit had this, too.

Also, I hope this comment doesn't post a hundred times, it keeps saying network error when I try to post it.

I don't like the confirm to exit feature in RIF but I do want a back to home option. Most of the time when I want to leave an app I use the home feature within my phone so when I'm using back within an app it means I want to go somewhere else within the app.

This is actually my preference too. But I think apps have to conform to some play store guidelines that say they have to let the back button exit the app. So the prompt is a compromise.

Ah, makes sense.
