Comment on Why doesn't Android save app memory into storage instead of killing the process in RAM?
schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoThe one time I did lose my draft, I couldn’t get it back. There’s no setting for memory on Android on Voyager.
So you’re saying there is a swap file (I’m on a cheapier Samsung Tablet A right now), but even that’s too small to hold much memory. I know in Windows you could set the size of the swap file; honestly, I’d much rather wait an extra second to get the program back into RAM than lose a draft, so I think there really must be a good technical reason it’s not happening.

Idk the Samsung tablet. And yeah it might be device dependent, too. I guess I didn’t think of that being the case.

I’m guessing it’s more a matter of having a cheaper product with less RAM than it is about the manufacturer. I’m guessing the behavior is standard across all Android devices.
