Android Mobile/Android Plex App Issue - Plex App Doesn't Fully Close & Audio Plays in Background

Server Version#: 1.43.1.10576
Player Version#: 2026.5.0

As the title reads, my issue is that despite fully closing the app via Android on my S25 Ultra, the audio continues to play in the background. Usually, the app will not show when hitting the app virtual “button” at the bottom left of my phone, although sometimes the app still pops up as if it was never closed in the first place. This has been happening for about a week now, if not longer.

I am running Android version 16 with One UI version 8.

The only current fix I have found it tedious and annoying, which is to long press on the Plex app icon, force quit the app, and then clear the cache.

Thanks in advance!
