I love this so far but 1 thing. When on mobile and in a chat you cant leave the forum. (The down arrow on the bottom nav bar) The only way for it to appear is to leave the chat

Hi @not-ethan :slight_smile:

I’m just creating these topics from the feedback channel. For this one would it be possible for you to provide a screenshot?

Here they are. I did notice on the home screen for chat (channels and dms) that the bar is there.

Yeah we have no navbar in chat, it is a tricky problem cause we don’t want to use that real estate.

Pinging @pmusaraj here in case he has any thoughts, there is no easy fix here.

Yes, this a design decision pickle. The full bar doesn’t quite fit with chat, but we do need a way to go back to the app’s Home Screen from chat.

For now the workaround has been: navigate out of chat, and then dismiss, but that is not great long-term.
