Revision history [back]

Hello. Now, when you peek to see your Home screen, the currently running app is freezing, e.g.:

• If you play a video, the sound will continue playing but the image will be frozen. With third party player which support it, the video continues to play on the cover.
• If you load a page in the browser, only the cover will be updated in real-time. You will see the loaded page only when you release the peek.
• etc..., it's the same for all apps

It brings a bad user experience, and with that, SailfishOS 2.0 loose a bit of its "true multitasking experience". The ability to make your running app half transparent to see your events/apps status was really awesome, please bring that back! :)

Update 11/09/16: Wow time flies, it's already been one year since one of the coolest Sailfish features doesn't work anymore for native apps, but still works for Android apps. A little up for the anniversary :(
