Hi there! I understand that your SomaFM Radio Player app on your iPhone keeps turning itself back on even after you close it. Let's dig into what's going on together.

First, can I ask if by "turns itself back on," you mean the app starts playing audio or just reopens on your screen? Also, does this happen right after you close it, or after some time? Any specific actions you've taken so far to try to stop it?

In the meantime, here are some basic steps we can try on your iPhone with iOS 18.6.2:

1. Close the App Completely:
- On your iPhone, swipe up from the bottom and pause in the middle to open the app switcher.
- Find the SomaFM app and swipe it up to close it completely.

2. Disable Background App Refresh for SomaFM:
- Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
- Find SomaFM in the list and toggle it off. This prevents the app from refreshing or restarting in the background automatically.

3. Check Auto-Play Settings in the App:
- Open SomaFM and look in its settings to see if there's any auto-play or background play that might be triggering playback or app start.

4. Restart Your iPhone:
- Hold the side button and volume up button simultaneously until the slider appears. Slide to power off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it on again. Sometimes a simple restart clears up such odd behaviors.

If the problem persists after those, we could look into other potential causes like app bugs or network permissions. Also, do you have any automation apps (Shortcuts) or Bluetooth devices connected that might trigger the app?

Let me know how these steps go, and if you’ve already tried some, please tell me so I can suggest the next best step!
