This may not be the best place to look for help but here goes
I have a Pixel 9 Pro and for the past few days, when I'm looking through images or in folders within the Google gallery app, swiping back just closes the app. I turned on the button navigation and pressing back does the same thing, just takes me to my home screen.
The app doesn't crash or fully close it just minimizes so to speak and I have to use the actual back arrow in the app to back out of folders and images. I have a baby and take a million pics and videos of him a day so this is driving me crazy. I've restarted my phone multiple times, cleared the app cache, googling this problem just gives me results about the app crashing which is not the issue I'm having. Any advice appreciated!
