This restores the previous behaviour where backgrounding the app while private mode is active in the tab tray would hide the tab list to avoid the OS taking screenshots for the app switcher

Resolves brave/brave-browser#52144

Verified on iPhone 14 using version(s):

Device/OS: iPhone 14 / iOS 26.1
Brave build: 1.88 (51)
BraveCore: 1.88.51 (144.0.7559.97)

STEPS:

  1. Follow the STR/TP from Private tabs data visible in tabs overview screen brave-browser#52144 (comment)
  2. Verify

ACTUAL RESULTS:

  • Verified that Private tabs are hidden when the tabs overview screen is opened and the user is looking at all recently opened apps.
  • Verified that no regression happened and a particular website in Private browsing is also hidden when looking at recently opened apps.
