Airplay - one feature that Apple loses against Google chromecast (alien.top)

It is fairly OK in terms of the compatibility across Apple products - as always for the ecosystem. However, the way it works is totally poor - when the apps is closed (either by user or somehow killed by iOS) the airplay connection drops. In opposite, content played by chromecast seems to sustain individually, regardless of the apps status.

Even I am using iPhone and have an Apple computer at home, a chromecast hardware is installed and more frequently used than Airplay.

Do anyone else experience similar as me?

No problem. Just change control source (or "unit" or whatever the correct term is) on your iPhone before playing something new, and your airplay will continue while you can see your other thing on your phone.

    Never heard of that, how do you do it and why do I have to do that?

    It’s like when I’m listening to the radio and scrolling something that has auto play ads and it continuously cuts off the radio in favour of the ad. It just shouldn’t happen
