Reply to Seeking Confirmation on Picture-in-Picture Support for Audio Calls
hi Kevin, what I’m trying to do is use Picture-in-Picture to display relevant call information to the user—such as the current call status and connection quality—when the app goes into the background. The purpose is to keep the user informed during an ongoing call, not to misuse PiP for unrelated or static content. Could you please confirm if this is allowed?

Reply to CallKit: Can an app auto-open after answering a VoIP call on lock screen?
hi Kevin, let me clarify, my question is about audio-only VoIP calls. Scenario: • The app is not running (App state is not started). • An incoming call arrives via CallKit. • The user slides to answer on the lock screen. Question: After the call is connected from the lock screen, is there any supported way for iOS to bring my app to the foreground automatically when the user later unlocks the device - without requiring the user to manually open the app or tap a notification? If this is not supported, is there any recommended pattern (e.g., specific CallKit/PushKit APIs or entitlements) beyond using a time-sensitive local notification with a deep link? For audio VoIP calls, instead of "answer on lock screen and stay there"? Can we choose the "unlock → open app"?
