Bug in Focus on iOS remembering video screenshot

Hello, can this bug please be fed back to your focus developer team asap?

I am experiencing a bug in Firefox Focus iOS (have the latest versions of both). The problem is iOS appears to be saving / remembering full screen video previews in task manager view even after exiting the app but often days / week later?

So for example, after browsing I tap the ‘erase’ button and clear data and swipe out to close the app. Everything first appears gone, when I open multi task I just get a black screen with the Firefox Focus logo and I can reuse the app. But then days later (or even a Week) I will bring up Task Manager only to see a video screenshot of a video I was watching days / weeks before. It is only ever full screen video this happens with and the appearance of it is random.

This has happened on four occasions over the last month (2 YouTube videos and 2 local news videos). I believe it must be iOS saving a sample image someplace in iOS. I feel the community would appreciate this being fixed.

disabling 'touch id' and re-enabling requiring touch id to resume session fixed it for me.
