And if you actually leave the Facebook or instagram apps running in the background.

Some people hate apps running in the background and they terminate all apps as soon as they are done using them.

Android apps can continue running software in the background even if you dismiss them from the switcher. It's up to the OS to decide when to kill them, unless you go into the settings and press force stop.

  • And force stop doesn't mean they won't restart after reboot or receiving a push notification or whatever. Absolutely sucks how little control you have about what goes on in your phone.
