I lost a draft post in Voyager on Android while I was a few apps away doing research and looking for a photo to add to the post.
That brought to me an understanding that Android will just kill apps for memory purposes.
Then I thought back to Windows 98 and how it had a page file that would write RAM information to the hard disk and use it as RAM. It was slow af, but it worked.
So I’m wondering: it’s 2026; why is Android just killing apps instead of writing them to a much faster drive for recall when needed?


Contact the developer of Voyager and request a feature to automatically save drafts. This is handled at the app level in Android, and it’s 100% possible for the app to handle this transparently.
It’s supposed to save drafts; it just didn’t in my case, and in other people’s cases as well.
The Voyager lemmy hasn’t been too interested in my feedback.
