Bizaar Auto Load and Play of Radio app in my car

No Car Play. iPhone 26.5 playing through bluetooth in car. I called up a radio app here in Australia (3aw). They had changed their set up and I needed to re-login. I was driving so let it go. I dismissed the app until I’d park and re-set the login. As I drive, another radio app (sen) decided that it would load “for me” and auto play. I don’t get it. sen have a watch app, but I don’t have it installed. Any ideas why my iPhone would decide for me and load an app I never asked for?

Well done, thanks for that!

While I don’t have those apps, the only things that come to mind from your description about this activity of iPhone is possibility of some voice recognition launching the sen app, Siri activity, accidental touch, Shortcuts automation, that sort of thing. I’ve been using iPhone from the original to 13 and up to OS 26 and have rarely, if ever, found it to take actions on its own.

No Siri no shortcuts etc

I was driving silently!
