**Describe the bug**
When the home assistant app is opened from cold (after being forced to quit by swiping or not using for a period of time) once application opens it pauses media playback from services such as Spotify.
**To Reproduce**
Open the application from clean start on iPhone with media playing in background.
**Expected behavior**
Media will pause unexpectedly. You will need to click the play button and return to the app and it will continue to work unless the app is cleared.
**Screenshots**

**Additional context**
Yes, I'm running on a few betas but I've tested this on stable versions of iOS and home assistant builds. The issues has bugged me for awhile now.
