Getting my Pixel 4 XL tomorrow

[Joshua Luther2]

I think that November's update did that. I use the Microsoft Launcher, and every time I close out of a text message my phone is suddenly in the Pixel Launcher. I just have to tap the "pill" and the Microsoft Launcher is back. Mildly annoying ... I was hoping December's update would fix it, but nope!

I fixed it by going into Nova settings and setting the default launcher there instead of the phone settings.
