App constantly refreshing

[Candlefairy101]

Say I'm on 'active' and click on a thread, read the thread for a bit and press back, the 'active page has refreshed.

Stay with me, it used to be that when you went back 'all the topics were the same until you manually refreshed 'active' yourself.

I feel like I don't want to click on a thread because when I go back to active I'm going to miss out on another interesting thread maybe below unless I temper what section it's from and the name. Does that make sense?

[urbanturban]

Me too! It's very irritating!

[Candlefairy101]

Can I bump this thread for MQ? The refreshing and losing threads is driving me crazy!

[Assquatch]

Me too

[DaleTremont]

Bumping again this has been doing my head in for weeks

[jenniuol]

Yes!! This is driving me insane. It's awful.

[miniHovis]

This drives me crazy, it never used to this

Hello
Gosh Sorry that no one has gotten back to you
Can we ask how are you accessing the app?
Will see what's going on.

[Candlefairy101]

Hello, I'm using my iPhone 6 and using the mumsnet app.

[Candlefairy101]

This only happens in active for me I think? Does it happen on topics for anyone else?

[DaleTremont]

iPhone SE, MN app, only active convos. Topics are fine.

[MiniLop]

This has been annoying me too using MN talk app on an iPhone 6s

[fanniboz]

Happening to me too. Pretty annoying I must admit. iPhone app over here

[jenniuol]

It happens in active and in topics for me.

[bumblemouse]

Same here it's very annoying. iPhone 6s

[AliceMumsnet]

Hi folks

Can we just check if this is still happening?

[DaleTremont]

Yes for me

[Cheerybigbottom]

This is very annoying yes!

[MimsyBorogroves]

Yep, still happening. It's really annoying. I'm on an iPhone 6 on the app too.

[lemoncakes]

Yes mine is doing the same - very irritating! Both active and topics. I'm using an iPhone 5.

[MewlingQuim]

I've got this too, thought something was wrong with my phone.

Microsoft phone.

[MiniLop]

Yes, still happening for me

[SpunBodgeSquarepants]

Oh I thought this was a deliberate update, so glad it's a glitch. I'm on Talk app on iPhone 6.

[jenniuol]

Yes, still happening for me too.

[CakeAndChocolate]

This drives me nuts! Really annoying.

Hey guys! I've looked into the issue a bit further, the only situation I can find where it is automatically refreshing the active view is in this scenario:

• If a user closes the app, switches to another app and back again, locks the screen then unlocks OR allows the screen to lock automatically and then unlocks, the active list will refresh, wherever you are in the app.
  

Can anyone confirm this is the only occasion it occurs? It should not auto-refresh when you stay in the app at all, so let me know if it happens otherwise!

I can see why it would be irritating, so here's a fix I'm proposing:

• only automatically refresh the active view when the app is re-opened and it's been 30min+ since the last refresh.
  

Any thoughts?
