    eBird app "backround app" issue

    My app was a bit cranky in this manner on iPhone 8, but on iPhone 12 (iOS 16.3) the gray bar at the top won't go away. it is there at all times. Turning Backround App Refresh won't change it. Tracking I have set as "only when using the app." But "always" gives the same.
