 ## Recent Fixes
 
+### Android PDF Preserved on Navigation (v4.3.1)
+Fixed issue where the PDF instance was destroyed on Android when navigating away and returning to the screen ([#20](https://github.com/126punith/react-native-pdf-jsi/issues/20)). The PDF is now preserved in memory during navigation (matching iOS behavior) and only recycled when the component unmounts.
+
 ### Expo Support (v4.3.0)
 Added Expo config plugin for seamless integration with Expo development builds. The package now works with `npx expo prebuild` and `npx expo run:ios/android`.
