Sometimes, when you switch apps, your phone needs to quickly change what it shows. It's like switching from drawing a picture to solving a math problem, the brain has to reset and focus on something new. The screen might flicker or freeze because it’s trying to prepare for the new app before showing it. This happens especially when the new app is doing a lot of work in the background.
Examples
- Your phone flickers when you go from a game to a message app because it’s switching between two very different tasks.
- Sometimes when you switch between apps, it's like your phone is trying to put on a new outfit in the middle of a conversation.
