iOS app ver 2.12 or earlier started playing audio after app switch to back ground.  This behavior supposed to be fixed, but came back again.   Please take a look. 

 

I could not find appropriate "board" for app, so posted here.

Yes! I just tested and still not fixed.

Reproducing steps,
1. Play one of library video
2. Close app while playing
3. At home screen, automatically same video playing with just sound.

At step 2, if you pause video and close app, then no auto play happens.

In Version 2.12.2 of the Arlo app, the audio will continue playing in the background when the app is closed. This problem was originally discussed here: https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro/After-viewing-playback-in-library-audio-keeps-playing-in/td-p...

The issue was corrected in Version 2.10, but we are experiencing it once again on two phones - one phone is running the release version of iOS 13.3 and the other phone is running iOS 13.3.1 Beta 2.

To reproduce:
Play a clip from the library with audio
While the clip is playing, close the Arlo app
A couple of seconds after closing the app, the audio from the clip returns.

Does anyone else have a problem with the mobile application continuing to play the video and audio even though the Arlo app is minimized and not active any longer?  It even does it when the phone is locked and screen dark.  The app feels to have many more bugs for its simplistic design.  Fix your products and for the love of us consumers, show some pride with quality!

This problem is still happening in latest app version 2.12.3

Does Arlo developer plan to fix this issue ?  Its been more than 3 month like this, and so annoying. I may have to switch to other home security video system from Arlo!!
