You know how in Android the back button is sometimes not a back button? It sometimes transforms to a close button (modal, image overlay, keyboard, etc.)
With an app built for iOS, these “close on back” was not working
As a web app, such behaviour will also need to be programmed to work on a browser first. Packaging it for Play Store should not grant that behaviour automatically.

(1) Modal / bottom sheet
But… I couldn’t figure out this one yet
Clicking on the “3 dots icon” in a post opens a bottom sheet interface.
Play Store version response to back button properly. But the web app version does not.
