Resolve chat disconnects on inactive tabs in Microsoft Edge

If you tend to have Simply Dating open in a tab in the background you may experience issues with a new feature introduced March 2021 to Microsoft Edge called “Sleeping Tabs”. Sleeping Tabs disables certain functionality from inactive tabs after a short time period, by default 5 minutes. Unfortunately, when a Simply Dating tab is made to go to sleep, this restricts chat functionality and you will appear offline to other members.

In the Microsoft Edge settings page, you can add Simply Dating to a list of sites that are made to never go to sleep, or alternatively you can disable the Sleeping Tabs functionality entirely. Simply enter edge://settings/system in to the address bar to find the relevant settings:
