Description
Currently, when we have some security lock enabled (passcode/pattern/biometric) and we lock the device or it goes to sleep, the app is closed to avoid revealing sensitive information in the "Recents" view. We could change that old behaviour to a modern one, not closing the app but rendering it in black in this view, just like some apps like the native Camera ones do:

Research direction
Start by researching how the Android app currently handles passcode, pattern, or biometric locking when the device locks or sleeps, since no files or tests are identified. Done means the app remains open but displays a black screen in the Recents view while security is enabled, with a defined test plan and QA coverage.
