Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Group chat - User can return to group chat after leaving the group chat via back button

What is the root cause of that problem?

When navigating away from the group chat using navigateToMostRecentReport, we don't replace the last page from navigation history, allowing us to return on pressing back

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Line 2424 in 168ce62

Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.REPORT_WITH_ID.getRoute(lastAccessedReportID ?? ''));

and

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Line 2433 in 168ce62

Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.REPORT_WITH_ID.getRoute(chat?.reportID));

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should pass CONST.NAVIGATION.TYPE.UP as the second param when navigating away in navigateToMostRecentReport

Note: navigateToMostRecentReport is called only leaveGroup and leaveRoom so navigation type need not be enabled by a prop

Alternatively

We may pass CONST.NAVIGATION.TYPE.FORCED_UP as the navigation type
