 ## Dismissing
 
+Toasts are intended to be subtle notifications and should not interrupt the user. As a result, user interaction should not be required to dismiss the toast.
+
 The toast can be dismissed automatically after a specific amount of time by passing the number of milliseconds to display it in the `duration` of the toast options. If a button with a role of `"cancel"` is added, then that button will dismiss the toast. To dismiss the toast after creation, call the `dismiss()` method on the instance.
 
+Pressing the hardware back button does not dismiss toasts since they are not supposed to interrupt the user.
+
 The following example demonstrates how to use the `buttons` property to add a button that automatically dismisses the toast when clicked, as well as how to collect the `role` of the dismiss event.
