In the most recent version of Minecraft pocket edition mobs still despawn randomly. Even though this was supposed to be fixed in 1.0.5 I'm not mad but others probably are.

In multiplayer/realm? If so that's MCPE-21416.
Just single player and mobs in the open like when you're roaming the world and mobs spawn around you they then suddenly despawn. And no pets or villagers are missing just this.
If any of the mobs have not been interacted with, they will despawn (working as intended). If any of them have been tagged as interacted (punched, tamed, fed, etc.), they won't despawn.
This is still an issue for Realms/Multiplayer, but this should be fixed for singleplayer/LAN worlds.
Ok I don't interact with them they just disappear a few chunks away. So maybe this is not a glitch \:
Are you talking about hostile mobs or mobs like pets and villagers or both.
