Yalla 101 Okey Microphone Stays On After Being Turned Off

I have been experiencing a serious audio and privacy issue while playing Yalla 101 Okey on my iPhone 15 Pro for approximately 20 days. I start the game with my microphone turned off and only briefly turn it on when I need to request tiles. However, when the game ends and I move on to a new game, I can still hear the voice of the player from the previous game, and my voice is also being transmitted to the other player even though my microphone is turned off.

In other words, even though the microphone appears to be turned off within the app, the audio connection between me and the previous player does not disconnect. I believe this is completely contrary to the app's security rules and privacy policy. You provide users with a microphone on/off button, and I rely on that control with the expectation that I can have private conversations without being heard. However, in practice, the microphone does not appear to actually turn off, which means that I may be being listened to without my consent.

No one has the right to listen to conversations in my private life. This is not simply a minor technical issue; it is a very serious problem that potentially compromises user security and privacy. I request an urgent investigation, that this technical issue be resolved to ensure that the microphone actually turns off when disabled, and that I receive a clear explanation regarding the potential violation of my privacy. I also want to inform you that I am considering reporting this matter to the relevant legal authorities.
