PowerApps - How to Turn Off "Swipe to Return to Previous Page" Navigation

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 81

I published an App and was testing it on an I-Phone when I noticed that it started using the swipe left to right gesture on the screen to return the previous page.  It no longer closes the app as it should.  It will only close the app if it has navigated back to the initial opening page of the app.  To clarify if I returned to the home page from a sub-page, swiping left to right would cause me to go back through the sub-pages until I have navigated back to the home page.  It also only does this for this single app.  All other apps close with the swipe left to right gesture.

 

Does anyone have any idea how to turn this off?  I checked my I-Phone's setting and swipe gesture was not defined so it seems to be Power App related.

    Setting App=>BackEnabled to false cleared this up for me

    Could you be more specific regarding the "Setting App"?  Is this the setting app in the IPhone?  How do you navigate to it?

    My apologies, I wasn’t very clear. In the maker studio, select “App” in the tree view, above the screens for the canvas app. Then using the drop-down, select the property called BackEnabled, and set it to false
