Screen Sharing app seems to be running in the background during phone calls.

If I am on the phone and we hang up with each other and I double click the Home button on my iPhone 8 Plus, to swipe up on the Phone app, I notice a blank transparent screen running and it is labeled as Screen Sharing. I updated to iOS 15 yesterday and was curious if anyone else is seeing this. I have attached a photo for reference. I have never even seen this app before.

HI Buddhist_Prodigy,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having an issue with seeing a Screen Sharing app when using the multi-task feature after ending a call. We'd like to get you in the right direction to assist.


With FaceTime and SharePlay, the SharePlay: Share your screen feature would enable you to share your screen to bring web pages, apps, and more into your conversation on FaceTime.


However, this feature hasn't been released yet. You can view details here: New features available with iOS 15 - Key Features and Enhancements

The release it set for "* Coming later this fall."


We'd recommend reporting your finding to Apple Support directly. Get connected using the website here: Contact Apple Support or view a list of numbers by region here: Contact Apple for support and service


Cheers!
