Unexpected Audio/Music Mute with iOS App Version 2.10

It seems the audio playback control has changed with iOS 13 - 2.10 update. Overall, I will say the iOS 13 app update is better, but this audio update feels like it went in the wrong direction. Details below.

Steps to Reproduce:

Start playing music via an app (i.e. Spotify)
Open Arlo App
Actual Result
- Music playback is paused
- Note: Prior to a the recent update, audio playback was only paused if live view was activated for a single camera
Expected Result
- Music playback is not paused when opening the app
- Ideally, the music playback would not be paused when activating live view either (maybe through an application configuration - enable/disable audio takeover).

I agree that would be a good option, especially for folks who keep the microphones off on their cameras.

Though if audio is recorded or streamed, I do want to hear it - so I'd want the music put on hold in that case.
