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'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.👍🏼

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.
