Recently used apps refreshing completely when you go back to them, now?

[Scam]

I've had this for a few months now. Not sure if it's related to an Android update or maybe my phone's RAM dying or something weird.. dunno? But basically when I swipe up across the home button and get to my recent apps; it used to be that you would go straight back into the app. E.g. a website you were just on was immediately there and scrollable etc. Now what happens is the app I go back to seems to want to refresh itself. E.g. if I go back to Chrome the whole page refreshes and I have to wait for it to load. It's extremely frustrating! If I swipe left across the home button the last-used app also completely reloads.

Does anyone know why this might be? Using a Xiaomi A2 Lite updated to Android 10 (1st Sep 2020)

Thanks for all that. If I make some of those listed changes, does Android's Doze function still work or am I likely to see battery drain? Trying a few now…

EDIT: Simply turning off Adaptive Battery as suggested in the XDA thread seems to work!

Turning off Xiaomi's extra battery management won't affect battery, and instead will allow apps to perform properly

Got it. But which if those options above is that exactly?
