Most of the time. Almost all the time, iOS 14 will do away, way better job at managing apps and multitasking resources on your iPhone than… any puny human.. could ever even dream of doing. Even using on-device Intelligence — Machine Learning, algorithms — to predict which apps you’ll most want to open and when. And pre-loading them to make sure they’re primed and ready based on that bet.

When you switch out of an app, it’s supposed to save its current state and go to sleep, to hibernate. Then, when you switch back, it’s supposed to wake up, to resume from that exact same state. Right where you left off.

But sometimes an app goes bad, a process goes rogue, your iPhone gets hot, your battery drains before your eyes, and rather than taking the time and going through all the effort of tracking down exactly which app is causing the problem — installing diagnostics, running tests, monitoring for days or weeks — they’ll just… force quit everything. And sometimes salt the ground with a hard reset right after.

Volume up. Volume down. Press and hold the side button until you get logo. The… Konami code of troubleshooting.

Here's how it all works!
