Problems with background applications on iOS 13 - Report

iPhone owners are reporting that iOS 13 is shutting down background apps too frequently, supposedly as a result of poor RAM management.

MacRumors collected multiple complaints about the problem, which occurs when a user switches between applications.

One user was working in Excel and switched to YouTube for about 10 minutes. Upon returning to Excel, the app had to be reloaded.

Don't see the problem.
Constantly kill background apps myself on my iPhone if the OS does not do it itself.

Working on an Excel document on a phone?

Cant imagine anything worse to cause more suffering.

Was the video titled "How to master Excel in ten minutes"?

Lol and people said 4GB RAM is enough. Apple still ripping people off.

This is actually bad mobile software architecture from Microsoft (gasp) - apps should constantly be ready to be killed by the OS, and handle resume on restart seamlessly. Take iOS Chrome browser as an example.

It doesn't appear to be limited to just one app

Every single app on my iPhone 7 iOS 13.2 gets killed every time I close. No backgrounding. And each tab on Safari when I move to a new one. So frustrating

Have not seen this problem. We have more than iPhone.

If you run background location tracking (my own phone, I like stats on commute times etc) it appears that the app gets killed very often. And the app appears to use iOS location optimizations so just caching in background every so often...
