I can help, so basically change action from link to “back”, make it go to screen you want it to go into!

Click on icon until you see this " Link"

Now choose in screen from back to what ever screen you want it to go…

Hi, the issue here is the device back button and Adalo not having options to block a device back button therefore forcing users to use buttons made in Adalo. This has been raised a few times in the forum . Check here for a possible solution [How to catch the device back key event? - #2 by tjd\_15](https://forum.adalo.com/t/how-to-catch-the-device-back-key-event/2252/2)
