Unresponsive when tapping recent apps?

Retek

I often get a problem where when I'm in the recent apps list, the phone is unresponsive when I try to re-open the app

Here's a gif of what I mean https://giphy.com/gifs/XTOwlMuZDNPzjGGsac

This happens in all apps, the issue goes away when I turn screen off and on (by tapping power button)

Retek this happened on my phone for a short time a while ago. Is your phone up to date?

If everything is up to date, you can try force stopping the launcher. That or a restart is how I usually fixed it.

Does this happen in the owner profile or in a user profile? Do you use the stock launcher or a third party launcher?

Yes, I have the same behaviour since 5 releases using Niagara

gonzalo it's nothing to do with your launcher, it is something about the app in question you are trying to tap. You can see it hasn't provided a screenshot for recents, meaning it is killed as soon as you leave it or is not responding.

[deleted] are you sure about this? It happens in my case switching with many apps, not only one in particular

I experience this as well; with random groups of (should be) switchable apps, in all profiles and multiple times per day.

For me, it always seems to happen when attempting to switch to the furthest right app within the app picker. Not every time but most, swiping over to that last app to the right freezes everything but Home & Back. It starts fine again after killed..until it doesn't.

I'll pay more attention and gather better info to share as an issue if need be.
