Complaints Mounting About iOS 13.2 Being 'More Aggressive at Killing Background Apps and Tasks'

[Mike_Trivisonno]

I thought I was going crazy. Glad to see others are encountering this weirdness. Apple, please fix. Thanks.

I've been noticing this recently on my iPhone 11 and wondering what the hell was going on. It's really annoying. I come back to an app and it's reloading when I was only away from it briefly.

Couple updates deep and still having issues... Where’s Steve Jobs when you need him?

Dead in the ground.

Can we please stop invoking him? It's been eight years, his name is tired.

Thank god I stayed away from 13.2. At current rate, I figured new releases will be more trouble than it's worth.

Maybe Apple’s sandboxing has sprung a leak

 

[cycomiko]

iOS 13.2 has been the buggiest release

No difference on my ipad 12.9 pro or iphone 11 pro max..
Work smoothly!

iOS 13.2 Might Have Broken App Multitasking

Users are finding that their iPhones need to reload apps in the background much more frequently after updating to iOS 13.2. That’s according to a slew of

It’s happening on my first gen iPad Pro and XS max

It's by design to encourage upgrading to the upcoming Pro device with a whopping 5GB DRAM.

I haven't noticed this at all with iPhone 8 Plus or iPad Pro 10.5 🤞

Perhaps a bug with memory management that's only affecting the newer hardware configs?

And I do have this issue on my XS. Safari is the worst offender, but other apps are affected too.

Hell, on my XS Safari’s been getting killed regularly even with nothing open. I’m not one to even let it get to 5 tabs, let alone 10+, where memory issues would become more understandable.

My favorite is when using the Safari View Controller in the Twitter app and it’ll occasionally get blanked out and reloaded, again on an iPhone XS, just for reading an article. RAM management in iOS 13.2 is a mess.

My iPhone 8 is having this issue

XR user here. I’ve noticed this too but just assumed that it was part of the general 13 buggy-ness.

Apps are closed incredibly quickly and I didn’t have this issue on 12.

I never would’ve updated 12 if it wasn’t for dark mode (which is great in the gloomy dark autumn of the U.K.).

Bring back Scott Forstall.

Not happening on my 11 Pro Max.

I updated from 12.4.1 to 13.2 yesterday on my iPhone X. All morning I was wondering why it can't even keep 2 Safari tabs opened. I guess this explains it.

Ok guys, I just used my iPad Pro 11 and switched from iMessage conversation back to safari and yes the page did reload but it’s instant. What is the major deal? I do not see this as being something so overblown on the interwebs.

Just save your work frequently. Problems solved.

depends, did you compose a large paragraph in imessage and not send it just yet?

i lost 2 layers of sketch on one of my project for a client in adobe sketch when i came back from answering a email on the ipad pro.

 

[Pepe4life]

this bug has been reported extensively to Apple by beta testers since a month ago, it’s disgusting how Apple employees ignore beta testers’ bug reports. Why even have a beta program at all then?

Advanced obsolescence? You can't expect a device more than a year old to run the latest version of iOS.

I am waiting for a day when we will look behind and remember iOS 13 and Mac OS Catalina as just ugly nightmare that we're glad is over.

like a bad relationship...

Apple really needs to re-sign IOS 12.4.X so those of us screwed by IOS 13 can revert back. As a musician who heavily relies on iPad and hardware integration I’m miffed! Even though I have over a grand or more invested in pro music apps, and have bought many iPads since the 2nd generation, I’m seriously looking now at the Surface Pro 7. APPLE RE-SIGN IOS 12!

If you rely on a device for your business you don't upgrade right a way. We have over 300 iPads out there and all of them remained on 12.x because we didn't know what issues would crop up with 13 and we're in our busiest sales season.

I'm sure apple will fix this asap

 

[Mutepointer]

“ coming soon, from the makers of brickPod, iBrick.“ iPhones will be bricked in trying to fix this.

Sure. But, if past experiences are any indication, they will probably introduce some other bugs. The question is if those will be worse than this one.
