State Restoration

Definitions

1. The process of saving an application's UI state — such as scroll position, navigation stack, and in-progress form data — before the app is suspended or terminated, and reconstructing it on relaunch so the user returns exactly where they left off.

   In plain English: Saving where you were in an app so that when you reopen it, everything looks exactly as you left it.

   Example: "Without state restoration, killing the app loses the half-filled form — iOS users expect to pick up right where they stopped."
