And yet is seems in 2026 with 8gb ram apps closes like multitasking is something of a other universe ….
Multitasking on mobile is a myth. Brand new tablet, trying to install a game on GameNative, only 2 apps open, start downloading the game, 2% progress, switch back to browser, thinking, well, let’s browse something while it finish downloading, switch back to GameNativ 5 minutes later, progress still at 2%.
Same history with every app, Jesus, laptops also work on batteries, are often more powerful so they consume more yet the have actual multitasking.
That’s a game native problem though, as Android absolutely allows downloading of files in the background. The devs just need to implement it correctly.
As someone who uses gamenative almost daily, it’s very frustrating.
I work around this by using multi window wherein the game is in overlay
That’s ridiculous….
It’s the OS killing apps.
