Hey @Psiwyrm.
Thanks for getting in touch!
It's possible to prevent certain apps from connecting to the internet or from running altogether while in the background. It could be possible to reset these settings with a reinstallation using these instructions.
If the reinstallation didn't help, head over to your devices settings and see if you can find a setting that might prevent certain apps from running in the background.
Hope it helps! Let us know if you have further questions.
Have a nice day.
