Pixel xl keep refreshing to Home screen

[Android Central Question]

My Pixel XL keeps refreshing to the home screen. I'll be watching a video or in the middle of a text and all of a sudden back to the home screen for no reason.has this been a problem for anyone else?

Welcome to Android Central! Does this happen for any app, or just certain ones? Are you certain you're not accidentally pressing the Home or Back button? Is there a screen protector on?

I am getting this but on the beta 8.1.

Have not tried the Google support forums yet.

I will get it if I go to Gmail and there is Junk mail that got through the filter.

Doesn't happen on all junk mails, but certain ones will trigger it.

I have to log in to the mail server from a browser, delete the garbage and Gmail opens fine.

Not a phone issue but rather crap that tools spam
