Description

If Mergin Maps Mobile App is inactive for some time, you cannot easily resume.
My feeling is that it happened from time to time always, but with the latest version on the testing device it happens almost always - when I use a different app or screen switches off for a short while (1 minute!).

Sometimes the preview stays in the opened app menu but when opened the app freezes too. The other time, there is no preview like in the video.

There is no power saving mode on. Other apps are available without any issue even after a much longer time of inactivity.
