VLC Auto-Plays Video on iPhone 16 Pro After iOS 18.3 Update

After updating my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 18.3, I noticed VLC starts playing a video on its own. When my phone is locked and charging (with all apps closed and bluetooth disabled), VLC suddenly starts playing a video I uploaded to the app. This happens without me opening the app or interacting with the phone.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could this be a bug with iOS, the VLC app, or something else? Any insights or fixes would be greatly appreciated!

Device Info:

• iPhone Model: iPhone 16 Pro
• iOS Version: 18.3
• VLC Version: 3.6.4 (670)
