I love this app, but it has started randomly turning on over and over. It also doesn’t show up in the open apps when I swipe up. I have to scroll to the app icon to shut it off. Hate to do it, but I’m going to have to delete it if this continues.

Have been using the app for many years using most up to date version on my iPhone 15. The app begins to play frequently on its own even if it is not opened on my phone. My only recourse is to keep phone volume off so it doesn’t start playing in places I would not want my phone to make sound. Ty
