I never understood why people thought manually closing the apps was good to begin with.
I have been letting them stack since iOS 6 ish or something, even when sometimes it was "needed" (we didn't have as much RAM as we do today).
Nowadays the real challenge is to keep apps alive/opened if you ask me lol, multitasking ain't the best thing ever, especially on Android (I switched).
Back in the day, Androids memory management system sucked ass and iOS was better but not by much so there was a good reason to. Maybe myth was the wrong word, more like obsolete as it hasn't been true for many revisions as MM has been optimized tons since then
Yeah perhaps, I never had android in those days, but yeah, definitely you didn't need to do that with iOS back in the days, most apps would close itself just when leaving them.
Anyway I have seen people manually closing apps these days, iOS or Android doesn't matter, and it triggers something on me lol.
Multitasking is even more important if you have an Android tablet. Apps will close on me when I intend to get back to them. :(
We have an iPad on the house, it is from the 7th generation and I think I don't suffer from this issue, thankfully... I think iOS does better in this regard though.
Some apps close for no reason. Like I have 12 gigs of RAM on my phone and it's doing fuck all lmao
XDXD That's just bad, man. I've got 12GB on my phone and 16GB on my tablet. It still happened. I just updated both to One UI 6, so I've yet to see if it still happens.
