Problem Description
Implement a Pull to Refresh page on iOS PWA. Currently, when a user leaves the PWA switching to other apps or locks the screen temporarily while a slower model is finishing Text Generation, the PWA times out and the user has to close out and relaunch the PWA to get the interface refreshed.
Desired Solution you'd like
Implementing a pull to refresh will solve this pesky issue. Thanks for considering this.

Additional Context
PWA is currently the best way to interact with OWUI from an iOS device. No native app offers the full functionality or comes close. PWA improvement will make using OWUI a lot more desirable and less frustrating for iOS users.

Hi, thanks for the update! Any ideas on why the "timeout" happens/how to fix it considering the front-end code?
