If the game has been unloaded, however, the game will be reloaded, and will then need to load a save in order to carry on where it left off. If the game moves into the background, and then resumed, if the app hasn’t been unloaded by the phone/tablet, it will continue where it left off. If the phone or tablet is running low on resources, it might automatically unload any background apps, losing any unsaved progress. When the app is no longer shown on the screen, it is classed as being a ‘background’ app.

Also, players may change to another app, and want to resume where they left off in the game later on. Unlike a PC, a mobile device can sometimes interrupt the game - for example, if a phone call happens mid-game.
