    Thanks for reporting this. We can confirm and reproduce the issue at the very least on Android 16.

    However, we have also confirmed that the issue also appears when using any other third-party launchers, so this seems to be a system issue rather than specific to Niagara Launcher.

    We will continue to investigate.

      What about closing recents (aka app switcher view) when locking the phone on affected devices? Even just opt in toggle in settings for such closing would be great as an hotfix, if you can not recognize affected devices programmatically. This is really annoying behaviour right now that lasts too long. I understand that it might be tricky to address such system issue cleanly, so would totally welcome such hotfix.

    I also have this issue on a Pixel 8 Pro. This is reproducible.

    I open the recent app switcher, lock the phone, then unlock the phone, the recent app switcher is still up with placeholders for all apps but none have content.

    Can confirm I have this issue on Niagara with my Pixel 8 Pro. Occurs when locking the phone from the app switcher view.
