I just updated Ionic and ran into the following issue: I have caching globally disabled. When I am in a view which is not the root of the navigation stack I observed the follwing: When I swipe from the very left to any direction, the screen turns white and the footer is hidden. **To avoid that behavior I want to disable swipe to go back on ios. How do I do that?** Thank you in advance! ---

Found how to disable it: ``` $ionicConfigProvider.views.swipeBackEnabled(false); ``` ---

Thank you, Sebastian. Does anyone know how to disable it for a specific view? I want to disable it on forms, where I have implemented a confirmation before closing/moving away from the form. Update: Just found this thread: [#18808](http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/disable-ios-swipe-to-go-back-for-specific-views/18808) ---

I’m also looking to disable swipe to go back on one specific view. Has anyone done that before? ---

👍 -\> using can-swipe-back=“false” on my ion-view worked to disable swipe-back on a single view (found at the bottom of your linked thread) ---

use as \< ion-view view-title=“View Title” can-swipe-back=“false”\> \< /ion-view\> and it will disable swipe-back on that view ---

Hello, Where did you find it? it is not [here in the docs](http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/provider/%24ionicConfigProvider/). Which makes me wonder why is the official docs in such an incomplete state? That worries me a bit. Anyways, could you please let me know where and how did you find this solution? Thank you very much! ---
