On my pixel 6 the home button returns me to my home screen, or it used to. Recently, if I am on a google search (from the home screen google search widget), home does nothing.
I'm expecting it to return me to the home screen - that's what it does on a pixel 7.
I don't think I've made any changes to cause this, any idea how to get it back?

Have you tried rebooting your phone? Might just be a temporary glitch.

Well now I feel like an ass - this is what I'd tell my parents.
And yeah, that fixed it. I'm tempted to delete this whole embarrassing post, but I will leave it for the edification of others and to memorialize my shame.

Don't be embarrassed, I work with tech for a living and am still regularly impressed with what a restart can fix. It can be easy to overlook though.

You don't understand the depths of my shame.
I was in OS support for 5 years. I supported DOS 5.
I work with software Dev teams all day long, including designing highly available services.
And I do after hours tech support for elders (my folks) and house mates (my fam).
If anybody knows to reboot...

Nah, I've got 15+ years of experience in IT and still overlook a good old reboot now and then.

Don't worry about it, we're all here to learn, don't feel ashamed because you are now a wiser person!

Rebooting is a legit IT solution though. I also asked why we do that almost all the time when we have Bluetooth problems after upgrading a Linux kernel and from the answers it turns out it's not really that "dumb", electronics are just that weird.

I suggest you to post the same question to the active android community here on Lemmy: https://lemdro.id/c/android - !android@lemdro.id

Now, why would you say something so controversial yet so brave here? Hmm?

I genuinely thought the lemdroid instance was the way to go. I missed the resurrection of this community. Did i miss some drama?

Lemmy. world admins didn't like a community being closed. What does that remind you of?
