By the docs, do not use onBackPressed if you can. Now is recommended using onBackPressedDispatcher.addCallback(this) {}. There's a Fragment example:

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        // This callback will only be called when MyFragment is at least Started.
        val callback = requireActivity().onBackPressedDispatcher.addCallback(this) {
            // Handle the back button event
        }

        // The callback can be enabled or disabled here or in the lambda
    }
    ...
}
