It used to be that, when I swiped down on an app it would close. But it seems that this does not work anymore and I found this issue apply mostly to Android apps. For example, When I use the RedReader app and then close it by swiping down, I expect it to not remember the last page I was on. But next time I open it, it still remember. Same for K9 email android app. This used to work before the last version update but now I have to go into the settings and kill each app manually. Any suggestion is welcomed. I have an Xperia XA2 with Sailfish OS 3.2.1.19.

I am not sure if I like or dislike this behavior. The battery is not drained, but the apps don't have to start again and hearing music is smoother.

I agree that this may be considered as a feature by many. I just liked it before as per my paranoid privacy model. An option to choose would be welcomed.

This is a major inconvenience:

  • when android app (viber, messenger, etc) is ringing, it is impossible to stop it by closing the app: ringing continues and there is no app - you need to open it again.

  • Waze map continues to route even when closed - tells me to turn around out of the blue after using it and arriving at location some 100m away from destination

  • Android ignores Sailfish orientation settings

I am on XA2 3.3.0.16
