# multiplatform

[Deep Patel]

I wish compose multiplatform had better back handling for iOS. Most native iOS apps use a cupertino style navigation where if the user drags the screen horizontally (enough pixels), they are taken back to the previous screen. At the moment, I don’t think that’s available on the compose navigation api.

Yeah would like to see this feature, use it a lot on iOS when the usual behaviour is for back buttons to be at top of screen!

This exact thing works very well with Decompose:

Using the example code, the iOS animation pretty much looks "iOS-native". And on Android you get the native predictive back as well.

In my honest opinion, I see no strong reasons to use the official navigation library over this one (or one of the several other ones).

Sorry for being late to the party, but we hear you on this feedback. We're looking into this, as well as predictive back gestures in general. No ETAs to share at this point, but we'll see what we can do!

could add this to native app and forward actions to Compose app?
