Android → iPhone Fix a Problem

Why do some iPhone apps reload when switching between them?

An iPhone app may reload after you switch away if iOS reclaimed memory, the app was closed, or the developer did not preserve its state. It is not necessarily evidence of a faulty phone.

What to do

  1. Update iOS and the app.
  2. Check storage and whether the app crashes.
  3. Reproduce the problem and contact the developer with details.

Limits and compatibility notes

Check this before relying on the answer iOS does not promise every app will remain resident in memory; force-closing apps may make reopening slower.
