FP4 (Android 15): Background apps being killed more aggressively

Dear Fairphone Community,
We’re still actively investigating this issue and gathering data. From what we’ve seen so far, this appears to be related to default Android 15 behavior and implementation of background app management, but we don’t have a final conclusion yet.

We don’t want to make any final statements or commitments until our investigation is complete and we have a clear picture of what can or can’t be improved. The feedback we receive is very valuable right now, it helps us understand the scope, patterns, and real-world impact.

Once we’ve drawn our conclusions, we’ll take appropriate action, whether that’s tuning the behavior or providing a fix if possible. If neither is feasible or necessary, we will be providing clear information and guidance on our website so users can make informed decisions.

For now, we’re still investigating

Best, The Fairphone Team
