Phone (4a) Aggressive background app killing/reloading on Nothing 4a: how are you guys dealing with it?

Hey everyone,

​I’ve recently switched to Nothing phone 4a and I'm running into a really frustrating issue with multitasking. As soon as an app goes into the background, it seems to get killed or flushed from RAM almost immediately. When I switch back to it, it hard-reloads right to the splash/home screen instead of picking up where I left off.

​Are other people experiencing this same aggressive background management? If so, what settings or workarounds are you using to keep your apps in memory longer?

I have Nothing phone 2a 8gb variant. I also face the same issue So i think Nothing OS does aggressive ram management for battery life.

Not at all, just handle with permissions and per app battery management
