If you open the same post on your computer and then come back later, it would also be out of date until you manually refreshed the page. But when it comes to mobile apps, I think people are more used to content being more up to date.
Perhaps content, when grab, could be timestamped and when the focus is regained on the app, it could automatically refresh content that are say more than an hour old.
Until tweaks are implemented, users can manually update content info without having to clear the cache. It depends but sometimes just refreshing the post or feed will do. In some cases you do need reopen the app.
Refreshing the content does not update the votes. Even simply closing the app and reopening does not refresh the votes. And it only affects my own content, not others. Can see every comment in a thread changing every time I refesh, except my own.
The changelog for v1.0.422 mentions fixing and optimizing the caching system and if you’re still having th issue then let us know.
