Apps disappear from recent / multitask menu

Not sure if this is an LG thing, V20 being my first, but apps are disappearing from recent apps for me. I don't mean reloading, I mean the thumbnail just isn't there for apps I had open a few hours before. If I launch the app from the drawer, it resumes from where it was, so the app appears to still be in memory, it's just absent from the multitasking menu.

Is this a thing?

Edit: Just happened while I was using my phone, scrutinising the recent apps. Spotify and Google photos were both there, now gone. Both were pinned.

Edit 2: This sounds like it http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/05/18/android-n-includes-tweak-of-recent-apps-ui-with-clear-all-button-at-top-only-7-apps-included-in-switcher-and-quick-switch-shortcut/

Do you press "Clear All" from the app switcher?

Hand on my heart I'm positive I am not doing that. Also it's not all apps, it's just a few and when I open the missing app from the drawer it is still in memory.

Not to say that you're dumb because i assume you're not, but are you sure it isn't hiding the app at the bottom of the screen? Nougat has that feature that puts the most recent app one thumbnail down from the second most recent for quick switching.

I see what you mean, but yes I'm sure it's not that, it's multiple apps that are disappearing.
