Hi, has anybody experienced that voyager forgets it's scroll position after closing the link in the internal browser?

Mine always reverts to home then I lose my scroll position in my all feed.

do you think that the phone thinks that voyager has excited when I'm using the browser thus it has purged the current session and when I exit the browser it returns me to a relaunched voyager session?

My thought process was more that voyager is a web app and that at some level it behaves like a web page so if the app is in the background for a period of time determined by the available ram, power saving settings of the software + some other criteria, the page may reload when you go back again to app leading to you being bought back to home and losing all your scrolling.

I see this behaviour with web pages. When I move to another tab and then return to the original tab I was on, the web page loaded in the tab reloads sometimes and the scroll position is back to the top

That's very unfortunate. I hope it's a limitation that could be solved in the future.

Other than that I'm very much satisfied with Voyager. It's so much intuitive and fun to use.
