Missing "Back to Main Menu" (X) button after pressing "Play" – cannot return to main screen

After pressing the "Play" button from the main menu, the "X" button (used to return to the main screen) is missing. There is no way to return to the main screen without restarting the game.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch Minecraft Bedrock

2. Tap "Play" on the main screen

3. Notice that there is no back button or "X" icon to return to the main menu

Expected Behavior:

There should be an "X" button (top corner) that allows players to return to the main screen.

Actual Behavior:

The "X" button is missing. Players get stuck on the Play screen and must restart the app to go back.

Notes:

This issue started in version 1.21.81 and continues in 1.21.100.

The issue was not present in older versions like 1.20 or 1.19, where the back button worked correctly.

Reproduced on multiple Android devices, so it’s not device-specific.
