I have a client who uses Glide app and has made comments that the app refreshes itself while their users are filling it up.

I have encountered this before but usually I just waive it off and continue.

I have tried myself earlier and this didn’t occur. So was wondering if anyone here knows how or why.

TQ.

Do you or any of your team members edit the app in the builder at the same time that user uses the app?

Nope. Pretty sure no one was accessing it that time.

Do you have any flows on the backend to automatically update a large chunk of data at any time of the day? I can only think of either design changes or data changes that can cause a refresh.

Thanks for the suggestion, if it is caused by the data changes then it could be random.
