I lost a draft post in Voyager on Android while I was a few apps away doing research and looking for a photo to add to the post.

That brought to me an understanding that Android will just kill apps for memory purposes.

Then I thought back to Windows 98 and how it had a page file that would write RAM information to the hard disk and use it as RAM. It was slow af, but it worked.

So I'm wondering: it's 2026; why is Android just killing apps instead of writing them to a much faster drive for recall when needed?

It's supposed to save drafts; it just didn't in my case, and in other people's cases as well.

The Voyager lemmy hasn't been too interested in my feedback.

    Then I suggest using Interstellar if draft saving is important to you. I've never had an automatic draft fail to save on Interstellar.
