Facebook keeps turning off my podcast

[Elrich]

I've occasionally found that, when I play sound an app on the iPhone where I don't usually play sound, the app starts to silence sound from other applications (e.g. podcast app, music app) whenever I open it, even if I don't play any sounds. Normally, fully closing the app (flipping the window upward off the screen - sorry, I don't know the proper terminology) will be enough to make it stop doing that.

But recently I did play some sound in the Facebook app, and I can't make it stop silencing my podcast app. But what's weird is, the podcast sound doesn't shut off when I OPEN Facebook, it happens when I CLOSE it. Fully closing Facebook doesn't help.

How can I make it so that opening and closing Facebook won't make a podcast stop playing?

Just talked to Apple about this. Turns out to be a glitch in the current version of Facebook. Will just have to wait for an update.
