When an app is run on Android or iOS you don’t really have an option to reload the page as it were so this isn’t really an issue on a device, but when running the app on a computer in a browser if you manually reload the page, the view always seems to go back to the home page and does not stay on whatever page you were on. I know this is a pretty broad question, but is there a particular best practice for handling this? ---

I think this person had a similar problem, but didn’t ever get an answer: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49114469/ionic-3-whit-ion-menu-lost-rootpage-when-browser-reload](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49114469/ionic-3-whit-ion-menu-lost-rootpage-when-browser-reload) ---
