I notice that Tune In Radio is now giving me a morning greeting and a button
that I must hit on to open the app. Otherwise it will not close out since the
app is not open. Facebook has been doing this too. It drives me crazy.
As far as listening goes, I unloaded the Facebook app so I could get
back to the place where I tell it not to allow access to the microphone - I
don't do any video on my phone. No data is lost this way and it clears out
other stuff not needed so if you look at storage usage it shrinks after doing
this.
I'm not concerned who sees or hears what I am up to, but having the
phone in use behind the scenes offends my sensibility. I also notice that if I
do leave my phone on through the night, even though it might be near fully
charged, and it is set to lock every minute, the battery is still drained quite
a bit by morning. What is using up the battery? I think I noticed that some
apps have remained open so perhaps even though the phone is locked particular
apps don't really treat them as not in use.
I've started to shut my phone down at night, hell with needing easy access to
911.
Also, I realize that magazines and facebook provide news and platforms
for free, if one chooses not to subscribe, but the onslaught of ads is making
some of these platforms nearly unusable. I've never had so many ads popping up
when on facebook as I have in the last 3 or so months. I wish there was an
alternative platform. Either that or voice over is not able to keep up with the
ads and I see no way to not load graphics on the phone.
Am I in the dark here?
