Closing/Completing tasks in mobile archive message delay

Hey, just wanted to share this video of what happens at times when I use Morgen on my Android and a task is open. It will take numerous presses of the X in order to actually close the task.

I raised a similar issue in the Discord (https://discord.com/channels/869868106967810068/1400020306663444552) without realising it was already here in Canny. Copied here for completeness, and an extra vote!
If I set up a Morgen task on the desktop and check it off as complete on the mobile app, I am presented with a popup asking whether I want to complete the underlying task or just this session.
If the task is a single task, I always select the option to close the underlying task.
If the task is a recurring task, I always want to keep the underlying task and only tick off this session.
Can there be an option put in the preferences on mobile for the user to set their preference rather than automatically ask each time? There could be two lines in preferences asking for the users preference for single tasks and separately for recurring tasks. The options could be those two options in the attached image/popup, and a third option to ask each time for those users that like that flexibility.

I'm not using mutisession tasks, that is why this prompt appearing each time is an issue.
I see a few options
1.
archive by default, but give an opportunity to unarchive. This is what desktop app doing right now. Can't say what the UI should look like, but I'd prefer sth less annoying than the current prompt.
do not archive, if task already has multiple sessions, prompt in that case.
2.
Give users a global option to enable/disable mutisession tasks, which will allow making UI more specific for each case.
3.
Explicit task attribute to mark each as a one-off or mutisession, with one-off being a default. Adjust behavior based on the task.
1st is the best for me, but might make things worse for people using mutisession tasks extensively. Depends on if you have such people.

Mobile Task delay (tick off other task)

On Android I have a short delay before I can tick off another task.
If I am too fast, it will tick of tasks that I didn't push but are next in my day.

Completing tasks on mobile always asks whether to close the source

Checking off a task on mobile (both Android and iPhone) always asks "Do you walso want to close the original task on the source?"
I almost never want to do that. If a task is recurring, which most of my tasks are, then I want to keep it open. If it's not, then sure, go ahead and close it.
It would be great if you can allow suers to select not to be shown it again, whether that's a yes or a no. Or make the behaviour different for recurring vs single tasks (or the last task if the recurrence ends?)

I feel like the mobile task experience has room for improvement.

Just found this in Discord - wondered if this had already been raised. Hate this behaviour, and looking at other apps now as ticking off tasks on mobile is awful.
