The onBackPressed Is Now Deprecated in Android 13 and Might Need Major Changes in Existing Apps

Other than <a href="https://medium.com/p/1aef83d67659" rel="noopener">Push Notification Permission</a>, one of the most prominent features introduced in Android 13 is the Predictive Back feature. It is not a feature that is enabled by default, but it will be the future direction of Android beginning Android 13. Google has warned <blockquote> <a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/custom-back/predictive-back-gesture" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Important: We strongly recommend that you implement predictive back navigation as soon as possible. Otherwise, users might experience unexpected behavior in a future release of Android.</a> </blockquote> If we do have customized back behavior of our App, by overriding the Activitity’s <code>onBackPressed</code>, then it is important to take note of this change, given upgrading it to the latest behavior does require quite a bit of a paradigm shift in how we customize Back in Android, which could result in quite a bit of code change. So if you do have a big legacy app that has sophisticated customized <code>onBackPressed</code>, it is important to get to work on this migration sooner rather than later. <a href="https://medium.com/mobile-app-development-publication/migrate-to-android-13-predictive-back-soon-before-its-too-late-e1e1723f392">Click Here</a>
