Screen locks but sends me back to the home screen?

Everytime my screen locks, it returns me back to the home screen? Doesn't matter what app is open, it returns to the home screen. Apps are still open in recent apps as well.

This is normal behavior. It's a privacy thing.

It has never, and when I say never, I mean across all previous Samsung and Android phones I've owned done that.

Is this a toggle? This didn't even happen last month. Started on last update I believe.

It depends on how long you let the screen go dark. Apps time out. If you have an app open, if the screen goes off and locks and you open it right back up, the open app should remain on screen. Go longer than 15 minutes and the app times out and returns to the home screen. That's the way it's always been for me. Doesnt bother me, because I know how to reopen an app.

However, if you say it's never happened to you, I suggest clearing your cache partition to see if that helps.

It's closed if I lock and immediately reopen the screen.

Cache? Like in the bios so to speak of the phone? Forget what they call it on Android lol. TWRP? Haha

Yes. The cache partition of the phone.
