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?

I find AirPlay to be vastly superior for streaming live events to a tv. Chromecast always lags during events like football games. It’s to the point where my roommates will ask me to AirPlay things for them since they have Samsung phones.
