My main gripe is that Apple chose to very aggressively kill or sleep apps running in the background.
I can understand this from a battery perspective but why not give us an option to let certain apps run in the background, especially when the iPad is plugged in to power.
As an example, if I start a download in Safari, I can’t use a different app until Safari finishes the download. I could use split-screen but who wants to watch a video I split screen.

- brandonhorst 7y agoIt's no longer true since iOS 13. Safari has a full-featured download manager now.
- eknkc 7y agoI loved Android's notification model for these stuff. When I'm sharing a large video to WhatsApp on iOS, it shows a progress bar that needs to be on the screen. Android just fires a progress bar notification that stays in the notification center. It is fantastic.
- dhruvmittal 7y agoRelated to backgrounding apps, I don't understand why if I split screen an app during a video chat, my video turns off. It's a little awkward if I'm trying to read an email during a Zoom call.
