qirex posted:force-quitting apps on ios hurts battery life android too. force-quitting is stupid. my concern was switching between apps, not killing them. like i'm posting in a thread and want to get a tweet so i switch to twitter and copy it and switch back to awful.apk and paste. there's an obvious persistent button for that on android. ios hides it and until i learned about it here i was unaware of the double-tap-home thing

THC posted:whether or not you micromanage and force quit your apps has no impact on this afaik yeah i didn't really have a point if you don't have enough memory on the device though you're gonna come back to a blank page/spinning wheel which kind of makes memory management uh, not relevant cuz you can't manage what isn't there and neither can ios what i'm saying is i wish my old ipad had more memory and i'm seriously considering getting that yuge one instead of the much better pro because it has twice the memory and paying 1k earth dollars for something with 4GB seems dumb

anthonypants posted:normal users don't need to know how to double-tap home to get to the program switcher on your apple device because on ios multitasking works to the point where you don't need to forcequit apps or risk one of them mysteriously consuming your battery, unlike on android devices. that's not actually a thing you do on android either though??

you don't need to "multitask", you need to switch applications and I've seen like 80 year old grammas using the ios switcher

the way that people complain about there not being a dedicated back button in ios makes me think that they're approaching phones as if everything is being run in a web browser. applications can have their own interface. if there needs to be a back button there'll be a back button, and if there needs to be one and it's not ther then it's a bad application.

anthonypants posted:to an android user when you leave a program to go to the home screen and reopen it, it completely restarts the program because android has no task switching capabilities. that's why they're so confused It only does that if you use the back key to leave the app since it ends the program. If you leave via the home key it just suspends it.

You're confused that using the explicit close this app method actually stops an app? And using the switch to another task method doesn't?
