I’ve fought this battle before as well. Couldn’t find a suitable workaround. It’s also a different experience between mobile and desktop environments. I don’t really have any good advice other than to not put an overlay on top of an overlay. It ends up not working the way you want it to.

All we have is the X button which reverts us back to the main screen instead of going back to the previous overlay. Desktop mode shows the back button which functions perfectly, but for some reason it’s missing on mobile. Just looking for some consistency.

> In mobile mode, where is the back button? I’m stuck with the X button, which closes this overlay as well as the underlying overlay I wanted to go back to, so I end up at the main screen and have to navigate back to where I was.
