I am about to go for a little rant but I simply just don't get the point behind this, what the reason of keeping app running while no windows are open, it creates mess in dock by having multiple apps open, cmd + tab shows unnecesarry apps, not to add even this closing itself is often times inconsistent since some developers do decide to close app when last window is open while others dont, even native apps are inconsistent with this.

I just dont see any clear advantage in this, coming from windows and been using mac for years, this is the one thing I still don't understand, like I might be missing perspective but it simply doesn't make sense to me.

Reinstalled the app after a year giving obsidian another try and omg they finally updated mobile UI! It was the biggest turn off for me but now it looks amazing, shout out to the development team!

I remember couple years back I wasnt able to trigger close app automation, when i kept app open but closed screen, tried making while loops that would trigger when brightness on screen would turn bellow 1%(basically turned off screen) in desperation for solution, the loops kept breaking and I didnt find solution, eventually giving up on finding the solution

trying it on new IOS now they seemed to have finally fixed it, idk if it was cuz of the lock app with face id feature when the change happened but i dont care and hope they keep it like this because it simply makes more sense to treat app as closed when literally the screen on phone closed

I know ppl wont care that much but I spent way too much time trying to fix this in past, so glad it finally works and I can finally build the shortcut i wanted years back

Is there any way whether by using shortcut or by any other alternatives to make it so if I turn off phone using side button without closing the app before that, automation would be run which would swipe out of the app that i kept open/make me go to home screen instead of keeping the app open?

Doesn’t matter whether it happens when I lock my phone or when I unlock my phone basically sth that makes it so i cant reenter app if i forget close it/swipe out of it before turning my phone off

Reason for this is my app restriction apps which i have set up so they trigger and lock app like instagram, twitter, etc on close through automation, with only exception of it not working being this when iPhone doesn’t seem to treat locking my screen as closing the app

*UPDATE: new ios seems to have fixed this issue and now closing screen while app is open seems to treat the app as closed and triggers the “when app is closed” automation!
