Closing Qlik Sense Mobile (QSM) and reopening it and reconnecting it increases the session count

If a user closes (e.g. by "swiping it off") QSM on a device and then reopens it again and reconnect to the server, the session count goes up.
Please, be aware that this should be interpreted as closing the client application on the mobile device, not closing a Qlik Sense app hosted on the hub.
This affects both Android and iOS

Environment:

Qlik Sense Mobile for Android (any) with any version of Qlik Sense Enterprise.
Qlik Sense Mobile for iOS (any) with any version of Qlik Sense Enterprise.

This is a known limitation. When closing a client and reopening it, a new session will be started at the next connection to the server.
The same thing will happen with any browser on any PC environment.

Putting the mobile application temporarily  in background should not affect this, however the mobile operating system might eventually terminate backgrounded applications if and when its resources are needed to run more recently activated ones.
