Just testing on my Android device and noticed that if I use the device back button it does some strange things like showing the modal screen again. Is there any way to disable the Android back action? ---

I have ACTION with Title Back button. And when user uses Android back button, ACTION is not executed. So can we either disable it or link it with Back button? ---

Need to bump this … This is a pretty small but significant issue (IMO). I’ve tried to set up conditions where (when user visits the page - check if logged in or not). What doesn’t work, is if the user is not logged in, you cant re-direct back to the log in screen. And you cant have more than one link action (with conditions) on a button either. It’s like they need “If” and “Else” statements in the conditions. i.e. If, logged in = True, then: Do this. Else: Do this instead. In a nutshell what’s happening is… When a user “logs out” (back to the log in screen). User can click “back” in the app … showing the previous screen (not logged in). I think a “Clear browser history” javascript function might work (as a custom action?), but I really dont want to pay $50 a month to find out if this is the right way to do it … there’s a lot of development to go, if there was a $20p/m option it wouldn’t be so bad … and Im sure you’d get more ppl signing up (that dont need to publish on the app stores). Hope someone can help! ---

We are working on a fix so that unauthenticated users are redirected to a welcome screen. ---

Is there a Bug (or something) ticket created on this issue? Since we all are still facing this issue and it’s really confusing for users (I’ve also created a ticket) ---

Hi @Deepakjain, I already answered this in the other topic ([Native App working like a web app - #13 by Devops](https://forum.adalo.com/t/native-app-working-like-a-web-app/5479/13)). Please don’t revive topics from 4 months ago for duplicate issues. Thanks
