@amul8612 That's probably because mobile OSes are pretty restrictive about which apps can work on the background, and what they can do.

So it's likely that mobile browser doesn't keep executing the webpage's code, when the app is on the background for various reasons, (obvious one is that it could drain the battery)

Although this can be worked around by saving the time before the mobile browser tab becomes inactive and checking how much time was spent inactive once the tab becomes active, I don't have time right now to dig into it and handle this specific case.
