@neajenZ

Description

@neajenZ

Plugin version:
5.2.1

Platform(s):
android/ios

Current behavior:
When using @capacitor-community/privacy-screen, the app sometimes displays a white or grey screen after returning from the Recent Apps screen (task switcher), both on Android and iOS.
The issue does not occur when the plugin is removed.

Expected behavior:
not display grey screen

Steps to reproduce:

Launch the app with the privacy-screen plugin enabled.

Background the app (via Home or switch to another app).

Return to the app from the recent tasks list.

❌ The screen stays white/grey, and the WebView content is invisible.

Repeating step 3 sometimes restores the view.

Related code:

 useEffect(() => {
        if (!Capacitor.isNativePlatform()) return;

        const init = async () => {
            const result = await getPrivacyScreenValue();

            setPrivacyScreenEnabled(result);

            if (result) {
                await PrivacyScreen.enable();
            } else {
                await PrivacyScreen.disable();
            }
        };

        init();
    }, []);
