Navigating Back from a thread on Android should go back to previous screen, not channel list
Hi!
This is a feature request for a behavior change on Android.
Here's the scenario:
- I open a channel
- I scroll up to read everything I've missed
- I find a thread among that
- I tap on the thread to open it
- I read the thread
- I press the Android "back" button to navigate back
On Android app version 84.15 - Stable (84015), pressing the back button opens up the channel list.
Instead, I would like it to close the thread, and bring me back on my previous position in the channel I was reading before opening the thread.
I think this would be a better experience if someone clicking on a thread from a channel still likely wants to read other messages in that channel after reading the thread. Right now, in order to read the remaining channel messages, I have to press back, reselect the channel I was reading, and scroll a bunch to find where I was before I hit the thread.
This would become especially annoying if a channl uses many threads, and all need to be read.
The disadvantage of my suggested change is that if the user wants to go back to the channel list, they will have to navigate back twice, rather than once.
Changing behavior when opening a thread from the "threads" list is not as important to me. However, I think going back to the thread list instead of opening the channel list could be good, too! It would make it much easier to communicate in a bunch of threads, one after another, instead of having to select the channel again and select the thread list again first.

Note: I think this new behavior would still be consistent with what happens in channels.
A user has almost always gone to a channel from the channel list, so it makes sense that back from a channel goes to the channel list.
If a user got to the thread from the channel list directly, going back there makes sense. But at least so far, it seems like I never do that? I'm only ever going to a thread from a message in the channel or from the thread list.
