Content Area Modal: Pressing Browser/Phone Back Button to Close Modal

[AdventDeo]

Hi there,

I tested my Pro site that has several content area modal buttons with new site users, and their natural tendency is to click the phone’s back button to close the modal. Sadly, this either closes their browser app or brings them back to a previous web page instead.

On laptops/computers, people tend to “know” to click the X button or click the black (default) overlay to close the modal… But on phones, it’s a pretty big UX issue.

I can CSS the X button to make it more prominent, but I’d also love to find a way if I can code this function in somehow? So that when a modal content area is open, clicking the back button will close that modal area.

Thank you in advanced.
