      I recently installed Opera in Android phone. Its fine, great to use.
      My only issue is that whenever I have private tabs open and I switch to another app, or the phone's screen goes dark/timesout, all the private tabs close.
      Is this normal (the automatic closing of private tabs) for Opera? or just on my phone?
      My wish is for private tabs stay open on return, even when left in the background/minimised for hours.
      At the moment I can't check my emails, go to maps, check the music player, etc, without loosing the private tabs (have to restart private mode and reopen websites).

      • Version of Android: 10
      • Phone model and manufacturer: Moto g7 Power, Motorola
      • Your version of Opera for Android: 75.0.3978.72220
      • If the problem is with a page: occurs with any website.
      • If ad-blocker is enabled or not: enabled
      • If data savings is enabled or not: disabled
      • Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue: open any website in private tab (eg theguardian.com); switch to another app (Opera is now in background); return to Opera: private tab is gone, only normal tabs present.
      • Expected behaviour: open website in private tab; switch to another app (Opera is now in background); return to Opera and Private tab(s) should still be present.

      Thank you.

        @onzuzxex Couldn't reproduce it here, when I returned to Opera it displayed the same page that was opened before.
