Apps refreshing really quick when switching between them

Every time I switch from one app to another, and back again, they refresh and I lose where I was and everything I’d entered up to that point.


it is driving me nuts.


I might use Google to go to a site, then use an app to find some data, then go back to Google to carry on and it reloads the home page!


Every time, for everything!


I’ve searched for tips and nothing helps.


I cannot believe Apple is not aware of this.


Please tell me how to end this nightmare.


Thank you.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

Are you killing the app you were using from the App Switcher screen before you switch between apps? That will almost certainly lose the most recent context of the app when you kill it. You should be switching between apps using the App Switcher (WITHOUT killing Google) or by just swiping the bar at the bottom of the screen left or right to switch apps.


If you are NOT killing Google (in your example) it is a quirk of how the Google app works.
