Apple maps enrages me for doing this. When you first open the app it like shows a screenshot of what you were looking at last time while it loads. Sometimes that screenshot is retained as the active view (for example if I have a search up), but other times after a couple of seconds the whole app just resets. This causes me to hit the "dictation" button quite often instead of the X button that was on screen when I start tapping (X button to close previous search result is replaced with a view reset and now the dictation button is under my thumb).
A screenshot of the app shouldn't be a loading screen!! It seems to depend on how long it's been since the app was last opened and/or how the internet connection is at the time. Bank apps show a proper loading screen.

This has started to really irritate me since it feels like every application in Apple's mobile ecosystem does this. My device has SIX GIGABYTES OF MEMORY[0]. Why do you need to swap everything out of RAM almost instantaneously?
What grinds my gears the most is that state isn't preserved. Apple Maps and Music are the absolute worst for this. Music will show the same screenshot and then just unceremoniously dump me to the "Listen Now" or "Browse" screen (it seems random which) and completely disregard whatever playlist or album I was in. The last song I played and track position are kept but good damn luck getting back to the spot I was in--particularly which playlist--before the app got put on ice.
That screenshot is just a point of "hahaha nope" frustration.
0 - Yes, I mean actual Random Access Memory, not "storage capacity."
Yes, as a music app both apple music and youtube music are completely worthless. Why can't they remember where I was at when I get back into my car and the bluetooth connects. It can't be that hard right? I get that apple's stupid policy kills the active process if I haven't used it in a while, but it can't be that difficult to just store where I was so next time I hit play, it's in the same place? Oh, amazon music can't remember my place either. I never had this problem with an ipod, a creative labs music player, a cassette tape, or even a cd (in my car where they will pick up where it left off).
