I am surprised that the warning notification does not put the application inactive in iOS 10. I could not find a mention of this change in the iOS 10 release notes (developer). Apple's relevant documentation on the “Response to Temporary Interruptions” still says that:
When an alert-based interrupt occurs, such as an incoming phone call, the application is temporarily inactive so that the system can ask the user how to proceed.
Is this a supposed change? Can I find documentation about this somewhere? Can anyone share experiences with this change?
