Hello there,

I don’t know if it is a Voyager (2.34.0) problem or iOS (18.4.1) issue but since very recently, 2 weeks max, the app refresh itself almost every time you go back to it.

If you stay on a feed like home or local, scrolled down to older posts (order by newest), when you go back to Voyager 85% of the time it will reload and go back to the 1st post of the feed, thus losing your progression in the scroll addiction.

It also happens if you are inside a post instead of a feed. It happens whether you:

  • "alt-tab" (swipe up) to another application then come back later
  • Keep Voyager on the foreground and just lock your phone with the power button to enjoy life, then come back later.

It looks a lot like this bug report for android: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1789

As I said, I don’t know if it is an iOS update or Voyager update that caused that, but it is annoying to lose your position in the doom scrolling addiction.

It is a good cure to that addiction tho.

I feel like its been this way since the app was first released, at least for me. I just accepted it as my feed times out after a while, and the app will refresh to pull in new feeds.

I agree that it would probably be better if the app did not lose progress.

(I do have infinite scroll enabled)
