I think this is Instagram's fault, there have been lots of times where I absentmindedly leave the Instagram app for the home screen and tap on Instagram again a second later and the app reloads. My hunch is that it earns them another chance to show ads.

I think that they do bank on confusion somehow making them more money. What I dislike is opening Instagram, and it shows me posts loaded the last time, and I want to click on them... But before I can, it reloads and shows me an entirely new semi-random selection of posts. Basically just like the Facebook news feed, you might see things that you wish to go back to, but have no hope of finding them ever again unless you have a great memory and are very dedicated.

As a dev, I’ve found that the apps that I work on almost never get killed by the OS, sometimes sitting in memory for several days, because they’re quite conservative with resource use. Many of the (often needlessly) heavier apps by the “big guys” on the other hand get killed on a regular basis, even on devices with a lot of RAM.
