Description

**iOS device model, version and app version**

Model Name: iPad Pro 11, 2020
Software Version: iOS 18.5
App version: v2025.7.1

**Home Assistant Core Version**

HA Core 2025.7.3
**Describe the bug**

Since the most recent update of the Home Assistant Companion app, The app will randomly start itself and launch while I am doing other things (YouTube, Google, whatever). Even after a force close of the app. This is on an iPad Pro. The debugging event log in the companion app only shows “Application Starting” along with the timestamp and “Unknown” which I imagine that field is the source of the entry, based on other log entries I see. I’ve made no other changes to the iPad. No OS updates. This just started after updating the companion app to v2025.7.1 last week.

**To Reproduce**
Random occurrences while running other iOS apps.

**Expected behavior**
App only launches on command.
**Screenshots**
