CRA PWA Service Worker not refreshing

I have create-react-app app that uses its stock service worker to cache files. I want the app to be a downloadable PWA but whenever I update (with heroku & node expressjs..) the users downloaded app never updates.. Even when I refresh (drag down from top).

Have I missed some configuration in the docs to enable the auto update when its a PWA? or What is something I can do to either force refresh when updated. (I have read that's bad UI but I'm fine with that)

Notes: It works as expected when viewing from a browser on a PC. (updates when tabs are all closed)

I found the solution.

The problem wasn't refreshing the app. I had to permanently close it. by swiping up from the multitask view.

Leaving this here in case anyone else didn't realize
