back button
Undo navigation click
The back button is a navigation control that returns you to the previous screen, page, or state.
In web browsers, it's the arrow pointing left that takes you to the last page you visited.
The concept extends to any interface where you can retrace your steps: I hit the back button to find that article again.
On smartphones, a back button or gesture exits the current view.
