Each year there are usually two major software releases by Google. We’ve seen Nougat, Oreo, and now Pie in recent years more often than not getting minor point releases along with monthly security patches throughout the year.
These security patches typically add fixes for bugs and exploits that may arise with each new version of Android although there’s oftentimes no indication as to what exactly was patched outside of a list of bullet points outlining general bug fixes included within each patch.
Now we’re learning about another change coming down from Mountain View that could potentially impact your day-to-day use of your phone – namely disabling your ability to automatically restart apps when you open them back up after closing them out at some point prior.
