I'm not sure of the expectations for Android, so checking that in Slack

[conorpendergrast]

Confirmed in Slack and in the PR that the expectation is that the back button will bring you to the previous app!

This is a bug and I will add it to the navigation polish tracking project. Seems like the root cause is that with the deeplink we first go to the LHN and then to the settings page which add the screen artifically to the stack hence clicking back goes to LHN

Looks like something related to react-navigation may have been mentioned in this issue discussion.
