I can confirm toggling voice search on and off seems to restore functionality at least temporarily.

Confirm that this seems to reenable the back button.

    I just tried it too.

     The button with the "microphone" logo seems to restore the "back" button for now. I had to press and hold the "microphone" button and then give the voice command "GO BACK". After that the "back" button worked in that specific app. But I had to do that in each of the streaming apps to restore the "back" button issue. Unfortunatelly, this only appers to work temprarily. Each time I sign into a streaming app, I have to use the voice command first to enable the "back" button.

    This is frustrating!
