Revision history [back]

This has been asked, I know, but it has also been avoided vigorously! Example: one version of this suggestion was closed for being too much alike to the "resume app if phone is unlocked within 10 seconds of lock", and I disagree!

Anyway, I miss something you can do on all other major platforms: continue (or at least have a choice to!!!) an app where it left off after locking and then unlocking the phone.

Example: I'm texting my friend. Then, I put my phone away. After 20 minutes, I re-unlock it, and boom: start screen.

Sure this sounds small BUT IT'S A FREAKING BIG DEAL!

Thanks.

A better example, courtesy of @Manatus:

Using browser when moving between public transports, and standing in queues and elevator stairs is pain with current implementation. You have to constantly turn the screen off to avoid accidentally pressing anything on screen, and when you expect to continue reading, you have to go through doubletap, swipe and click the browser.

Sure this sounds small BUT IT'S A FREAKING BIG DEAL!but it really is a big deal for many.

Thanks.
