   Thanks for the report, and sorry for the delay.

   Verified on 9.0.8. This is the same request as #28703: in a browser or an installed PWA, Ionic only handles the Android back button when experimentalCloseWatcher is enabled in the Ionic config, and the docs demo does not enable it, so the back press does a normal history back and leaves the modal open. Use Ionic 9.0.7 or later, which also fixed back navigation once nothing is open in #31520, shipped in v9.0.7, and enable the flag in your app's Ionic config:

   // Angular
   provideIonicAngular({ experimentalCloseWatcher: true });
   
   // React
   setupIonicReact({ experimentalCloseWatcher: true });
   
   // Vue
   app.use(IonicVue, { experimentalCloseWatcher: true });
   
   // JavaScript, before Ionic loads
   window.Ionic = { config: { experimentalCloseWatcher: true } };

   Closing this as a duplicate of #28703, where the full details are.
