Should be theoretically possible via swap. Like, my MacBook can have a thousand browser tabs open without reloading any of them, and I'm sure it doesn't all sit in physical RAM. Is your phone low on storage, or are iPhones just less swappy?
- crazygringo 2y agoI don't think iPhones swap at all. They just purge the oldest-used app(s) when they need more memory. Unlike on a Mac, applications don't stay open in the background. With some exceptions for specific authorized background processes.
- paperplatter 2y agoRight, I know at least 3P apps get the "memory warning" and have specific rules about background execution, but wasn't sure about Safari since it's special.
