    • Configure the glide.sg.blur_ui_when_backgrounded property so that the UI of the app is blurred when the app is running in the background.

    If the glide.sg.blur_ui_when_backgrounded system property is not set to the recommended value of true, then the mobile app's UI is visible when viewed from the app switcher once the app has been backgrounded.
