-Components that use `ion-nav` or `ion-router-outlet` should not use the `OnPush` change detection strategy. Doing so will prevent lifecycle hooks such as `ngOnInit` from firing. Additionally, asynchronous state changes may not render properly.
+If your pages keep state in plain fields rather than signals, the component hosting `ion-router-outlet` or `ion-tabs` needs eager change detection, as does every component between it and your application root. A change detection pass starts at the application root and skips a clean `OnPush` view along with everything below it, so an `OnPush` component above the outlet stops updates from reaching the routed pages under it. The pages themselves can use `OnPush`, as long as their state is a signal or they call `markForCheck()`.
+
+On **Angular 18 through 21** this only affects you if you set `OnPush` on those components yourself, because a component that does not declare a strategy is eager.
+
+**Angular 22** makes `OnPush` the default for components that do not declare one, so refer to [Change detection on Angular 22](/docs/angular/zoneless.mdx#change-detection-on-angular-22) for what your app shell has to declare.

+## Change detection on Angular 22
+
+On Angular 22 a component that does not declare a strategy is `OnPush`. If your pages keep state in plain fields rather than signals, every component from your application root down to the one hosting `ion-router-outlet` or `ion-tabs` (your app shell) must stay eager. A tick starts at the application root and skips a clean `OnPush` view and everything below it, so an `OnPush` ancestor strands the page even when the page itself is eager:
+
+```ts
+import { ChangeDetectionStrategy, Component } from '@angular/core';
+
+@Component({
+  selector: 'app-root',
+  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.Eager,
+  template: '<ion-router-outlet></ion-router-outlet>',
+})
+export class AppComponent {}
+```
+
+If other components sit between your application root and `ion-router-outlet`, each of them needs the same declaration. Pages that set state through signals, or that call `markForCheck()`, are unaffected: both mark the ancestor chain, so a tick reaches them whatever the shell declares. Converting your pages that way is the alternative to keeping the shell eager.
+
+Hosting an `ion-nav` is fine either way, because its pages are attached as root views and are checked independently of the component hosting them.
+
 ## Staying on Zone.js
 
 If you are not ready to adopt zoneless change detection, you can opt back into Zone.js with `provideZoneChangeDetection()`. Refer to the [Keeping Zone.js section of the Ionic 9 upgrade guide](/docs/updating/9-0.mdx#keeping-zonejs) for the exact configuration.
