When I put my iPhone down for a bit and come back to Voyager, the app resets back to the top of the feed. I then have to scroll so far down to find the place I was at.

My iPhone settings does not show Voyager app in the background app refresh settings.

I believe this setting would keep the feed in the same place when I bring the app back.

    It’s not memory pressure related.

    iOS is killing the app because it doesn’t have access to the API that allows it to run in the background. That’s why it’s not listed in the Background App Refresh menu in the Settings app.

    All API permissions are disabled by default on iOS. The developer must enable the API requests, and the user must accept them for the feature to be enabled.

      There’s a difference between iOS killing the app and suspending it. When suspended an app remains in memory and the OS doesn’t give it any opportunities to run any code. When the user switches back the app resumes without any change in its state.
