        But they could just do that by pausing it when it’s not the active screen? Plenty of games do that already it seems like.

          Why don’t you just allow peggle to make calls, yo? Don’t you trust the magic horse to also talk to your friends, family and coworkers about the bad sides of peggle, like sometimes you lose? What are you hiding behind the privilege to exclusively make calls for yourself?

          Because its still the active screen when the call comes in.

          This let the game pause and the ringer take audio over. It was all bundled into the same “phone” permission group, which appeared like this when the permission was requested.

            But if you’re playing on your phone you don’t actually need the ringer to take control of your audio as you are already looking at it. And if you press answer the game is no longer an active screen. If you don’t press answer or press decline you don’t really need the game to pause either.

              Memory management, it needs to save its state if you leave the app for the call. If it goes to background, and it stays there long enough, whatever was going on would just get dropped.

              The issue was the lack of granularity in permissions that were provided.

        I know that you’re gen x or older, as millennial and newer don’t use our telephones for calling, that’s just silly. Silly-willy, even. We just disable the phone app. Big brain.
