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?

    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.
