Lately when I use the App Switcher my Chrome window preview is an image from and site I visited month ago even when the link shows the current or last site I visited. How can I change the preview for Chrome in the App Switcher. I have iOS 18.3.1 on iPad.
The App Switcher thumbnail images are cached - the individual thumbnail image usually being updated as you switch away from the current foreground App.
There appears to be a bug in iPadOS that, when available system resources are being fully utilised, the thumbnail images might not be updated as expected. As the thumbnail image is in most cases too small to show detail, this largely cosmetic detail is of low consequence.
Force-closing unused Apps is usually unnecessary, however doing so may release sufficient resources for the thumbnail image to refresh when the associated App is next accessed.

I have forced closed all apps and the issue is still present. I even forces closed all apps and shutdown my iPad. When power up the issue is still present. The icons are not small and anyone sitting next to me could see the image. Is there are way to clear the App Switcher cache?
