Thank you for the feedback @hassan-jammal

check about using this event listener document.addEventListener('visibilitychange',function(){} );

An example of how I have implemented this feature can be found here https://github.com/gk-git/gabykaram/blob/main/src/components/Global/CurrentlyPlaying/CurrentlyPlaying.tsx.

But I took a simple decision to not run the API call when the tab isn't active
