_This applies to my Discourse **Android app** experience – Nexus 6P on 7.1.1. I cannot say if the iOS version exhibits the same behavior._
Maybe this is a bug or maybe I’m being a nitpicking twit. Anyway…
Let’s say you’re reading a topic but now you have to do something else. So, you either hit the Android ‘ **Home** ’ button (circle) or the Android ‘ **Recents** ’ button (square) so you can move on to whatever other app you need to access.
### Now, how will I get back to the Discourse topic I was reading?
If I hit the Recents button, I can scroll to the Discourse window and I’m back to exactly where I left the topic I was reading.
If I hit the Discourse app icon (by habit or convenience), I’m taken to the Discourse app ‘home screen’ (list of available forums), not to the topic I was reading. Now I have to try to recall what topic I was reading and also where I was in the topic.
I also noticed that once Discourse is opened via the app icon, any topic windows previously stored in the Recents list will be removed.

Thanks @Falco for the prompt reply, and good to know you’re already on top of it!
