Are you using `@capacitor/app` to listen for back button presses or handing it some other way?

Check your backbutton subscription function. It must be configured properly, Unsubscribed safely on next page navigation to work properly.  
Try something like the below

```auto
backbuttonfunction=null; // Member variable to store back button function
ionViewWillEnter(){
this.backbuttonfunction=this.platform.backButton.subscribe(()=>{
// Your subscription logics
});
ngOnDestroy(){
this.backbuttonfunction.unsubscribe(); // Unsubscribing your subscription
}
}

```
