For the android app… Is anyone else having an issue with the app reloading after leaving the app and coming back? I can open my task switcher and go use another app and then when I come back, everything reloads. Trying to see if it’s the app or just my phone being aggressive with the ram.
At very least, Voyager should save the comment you’re drafting so if this does happen you don’t loose everything.
I don’t think it’s just memory management at play. I’m having the same issue on iOS on an iPhone 11 Pro. Yesterday I was writing a comment, swapped to my browser, did a quick search, and came back within 30 seconds… and found myself staring at my home feed instead of the comment I was drafting.
Of course, it could still be memory management related, but I don’t tend to find other apps getting reloaded even after much more time away and switching between more than one other app.
Additionally, shouldn’t the app remember your position regardless? It’s annoying to lose my place in the feed and find myself transported to the top of the Home feed. Maybe not and that behavior all falls under memory management… I’m not a programmer.
Let’s do a test… I’m starting this comment.Now I’m gonna go for a bit…
…Ok, a few minutes later and I’m back. I opened slay the spire and started a game, went to safari and opened a website, opened a music app and started playing music, and now am back here.
Even with all of that loading and usage of other apps, nothing unloaded from Voyager and my comment was still drafting. It seems to me that some other gremlin is causing this than normal unloading inactive apps from memory.
I’ve not had an issues with the app reloading, wondering if its an issue with the way your phone handles multitasking perhaps… Might be worth posting what phone you’re using, to help narrow things down.👍🏼
Moto Edge Plus 2022 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor (last year’s flagship), 12gb of ram, and 512gb storage.
I also have a phone with shitty RAM management, the only workaround I can think of is that Voyager keeps alive longer or saves your position in the feed if it needs to reload… Other clients that I found to be persistent in the background are: Sync for Lemmy and Summit.
