Save your cell phone if your Android phone system button was damaged.

Features & Capabilities

Back Button is a versatile Chrome extension designed to simulate Android system buttons such as Back, Home, and Recent. It is especially useful if the physical buttons of your phone are damaged or malfunctioning. The extension allows full customization — you can use any combination of these buttons independently or together.

Users can drag the button anywhere on the screen or pin it to a fixed position to prevent accidental movement. It supports custom themes with configurable button colors, pressed state colors, background colors, and transparency options. Additionally, the button layout supports both vertical and horizontal orientations for comfortable use. This extension requires accessibility service permission purely to enable core functionalities; it does not collect or share any personal data, ensuring your privacy and security.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app for restoring back button functionality and ease of navigation, especially on phones with faulty or missing buttons. Its floating button is convenient and customizable, working even in immersive modes. However, users frequently report issues like the button disappearing unexpectedly, inability to reorder buttons, intrusive ads or persistent notifications, battery drain after updates, and difficulty managing the button's presence in landscape mode during video watching or gaming. Despite these drawbacks, many users consider it a valuable tool for smartphone navigation.
Pros
  • Allows easy navigation with a virtual back button, especially on tall smartphones or phones with broken physical buttons.
  • Floating back button can be positioned anywhere on the screen for user convenience.
  • Works over other apps and games even in immersive mode, improving usability.
  • Provides useful features that replace the phone's physical back button, with a generally easy and effective setup.
  • Customizable button styling and multiple features to enhance navigation experience.
Cons
  • Button sometimes disappears unexpectedly, requiring a phone restart to restore functionality.
  • Lack of ability to reorder or reposition buttons to user preference, such as swapping back and recent buttons.
  • Intrusive ads before purchase; even after purchase, some ads or notifications may persist, reducing usability.
  • Battery drain issues reported after updates, causing frequent phone charging.
  • Button sometimes interferes with apps, especially in landscape mode, with no easy way to hide or disable it in such cases.

Very useful app considering smartphones have gotten taller. The use of this app has really helped make navigating through screens much easier.

The only thing that stops this from being a 5 star app, but to me is really important, is that there is no way to change the order of the buttons. I'm used to recent windows being on the left and my back bottom on the right and this app is the opposite. It will not let me re-order the three
