If your app uses NavigationView, like 80% of apps, you get a back button and swipe gesture for free.
The one thing Apple has done an amazing job of over the years is providing a solid, clean, common application framework for all of their systems.
iOS doesn’t even have a universal back button, every app has their own way of implementing it.

What is it with Android users’ obsession with the back button? Who actually cares? Why would I want some button that goes back to the wrong app for some reason?

Who actually cares?
Every people that complains, for one. And the “back” feature, with apps that follows the guidelines, is quite useful and consistent.

Apple has a universal app switcher gesture that is harder to accidentally invoke. It used to use the home button before for that when it was on the front of the device.
The back button on Android just feels like Chromebook bullshit to me.

The back button is just completely unnecessary. Imagine not knowing how to get back to something because the UI is atrocious so you have to rely on a hardware key. 😷

Try teaching your 90-year-old mother to use that fucking gesture. Lol “Apple is so intuitive”.

Tell me you haven’t used a back button without telling me.
To TLDR you pretend the back button on android is the back button on your mouse, because it is. Does it seem useful yet?

Back button on a mouse? I use a Trackpad. If I wanted to spend all day slowly navigating the UI click by click I might go back to a mouse.

It takes you back to the previous view in the stack. If that is a different app, then yes, it will do that, and that is the correct behaviour, same as when web browsing.

It has swipe to the right from the side of the screen. That works in very application I’ve tried.

It’s not universal. It has become more common, but there is no OS-level enforcement
