I opened the settings menu on my phone and wasn't able to figure out how to close it. After playing with the desktop app I realized that I could tap the black bar at the very top of the screen, but that wasn't obvious.

Perhaps this menu should be presented fullscreen on mobile with a back button? Or maybe it could have an explicit x or < Back button at the top?

I'd like to see a standard pattern for this kind of thing. We do have other modals that have a go back button at the bottom, maybe that would be sufficient? Although I know on ios the pattern is usually to put the back button at the top left.

Yeah I was looking for another screen with a navigation hierarchy but I was having trouble finding one. I think a back button at the bottom would be fine for starters. I do remember checking down there when I was trying to figure out how to close the page.
