I’m not currently using the public beta, so I probably don’t have a lot of room to talk, but as I use the current production app I can see what you’re describing with this:
That’s what I would expect the behavior to be, so it seems like you’re describing a negative change and they’re exacerbating a problem they seemed to introduce with the new app last year:
Hopefully they’ll fix this (the issue you’re describing) prior to promoting this beta to production, and hopefully they’ll also give some consideration to improving the “back” button behavior across the entire app experience.
Thank you for bringing this up.
