I doubt ram is an issue as there is always at least 1.7GB free. This bug has been occuring or a long time. 3 years old reddit post about it

Can I fix it myself or should I wait for it to get patched? I dont know if this is appropriate place to post this, but I cant use github

    It might actually be an issue with the OEMs version of Android and it’s RAM management.

    Not sure if there’s a way to adjust it, but you could try using LineageOS?

        Indeed, I do not experience it on my Samsung S22 Ultra, and I remember reading some article about how certain OEMs will change how Android manages RAM to try and improve the “experience” which results in weird behavior such as this.

      There is an event when the app is not in focus and they can save their data to avoid it being deleted or the webpage reloaded. Like a snapshot of the page.

      I also experience this on LOS, but on an FP3 so RAM could be an issue on my end.
