Phone call interruptions

Yesterday I updated Zwift before riding and the during my ride Zwift was interrupted by a phone call twice. The Zwift app has to be restarted and any progress I could have made is wiped out. The group I was Zwift left me and I had to abandon.

Today I was 250m from the top of the Alpe and another phone stopped me. Luckily I got back into Zwift where I left off, but the riders I was with had gone.

This never happened before the update and I’d like to prevent it. I use a 2019 iPad with recent updates and an Apple iPhone 17 also right up to date.

Any advice please?

Zwift always has to remain in the foreground on mobile devices. It has never been safe to background it.

Does your phone have a “do not disturb “ option to block all calls while you are on zwift?

Yes, an iPhone has that and I always use it while riding to prevent that happen.
