Should back button exist in PWA (Progressive Web Applications)?

User Experience Asked by Jon Sud on October 31, 2021

What’s the reason there’s no back button for ios or android in pwa?

I can implement the button and the behavior by myself, but should I?

Why are the mobile apps not common to navigate backwards/forwards?

One Answer

Depends on the application that you are designing. If

  • there is only one page OR
  • there is only a flat hierarchy (Inbox, Trash bin, Settings) OR
  • users are unlikely to go back in a set of steps

then you probably don't need it.

Also, android provides a back button natively. For iOS you still have to add it. Maybe something like this?
