Back button to open channel drawer
As of Android update 1056 the back button will always open the channel drawer even if the setting is disabled. People in discord testers have been told this is intentional. Please revert this change so the setting is now functional and users can choose whether they want the back button to exit or open channel drawer.
UPDATE:
Edit to add the fact that as of 14a1(1060), the switch has been removed. This meaning that you can no longer have back button to exit app.
After talking with Jethro, he's explained that it "doesnt make sense with tabs".
Me, and multiple others, disagree and think it makes just as much sense with or without tabs.
Please revert this and add the switch back (and functional) so users can once again choose what they want the back button to do.

Agree with this thread

its literally so jarring to hit back, whether on purpose or just kinda idly, and be sent to my home screen, especially with having a yellow bg (which to be fair is my own fault) compared to discords dark theme

I rely on the back button to close the drawer and this change 100% caught me off guard. Agree with OP please put it back

This has since been added back on later versions. The back button now opens channel drawer, then hitting it again takes you to your home screen. As of writing this I'm on version 20.5 (1127).

Has it? Has it been added back? I just got 21.2 (1131) from the beta program on Google, and I still do not have a Behavior setting to just bypass channel drawer immediately back to go to home screen
I'm unable to choose the behavior
🤔

Can we please have the option to choose back? I use the back button to bring up the tray and check if any servers have new messages or if a recent dm is back online, and if not return to my current conversation. Going back to home screen ruins the flow.

Yes, let's just have the option back
For me, opening the channel drawer is what ruins the flow. I can't get used to this. I want the option for current behavior, for people like you Profound who got used to it, and for those who don't like it like me and prefer the old behavior of just going to home screen then they can choose that

Why!?!? Previously, we had an option to control behavior. Now we don't. It was fine before. Now it's broken like other apps. Please fix!

Devs! Are you for real?!
Can't exit the app with back button at all? That's not an improvement. Please undo this!
