App opens in the background
Quote from Me on 06.02.2026, 03:38Hi,
scenic likes to open in the background now and I don’t know how to prevent it. I believe it’s only when I connect to CarPlay but this is new behavior. Is there any way to prevent scenic from running unless I actually open it? Force closing the app does not solve the problem.

If you then connect to CarPlay, Scenic needs to be displayed on screen so it opens in the background on your iPhone. This is standard iOS behaviour that app can't influence. If you don't want this to happen, make sure that Scenic is not the last navigation app you used on CarPlay before you disconnect from CarPlay after using Scenic.
