Question about something being displayed in the iOS Control Center

Hey Apple folks, I have a big iOS problem in control center. For no reason, I see one of my apps name draw free atop the what's playing player part in control center, even though I'm not in the app named draw free. It seems like it came from the background music coming from the ads in the game, but it wasn't playing after a few seconds. And this happened every time I close the draw free app. Could you please help me it is so cluttering in my iPad
P.s. The app draw free is a game, not a music app!

IOS 10 displays the app the music comes from along with the music now and it's still there because IOS only pauses what you have been listening to rather than stopping it. Hope that makes sense.

Edit: Sorry, I left half of that off and didn't realize it until I reread it later. LOL

Try deleting and reinstalling the app. If you are experiencing the same issue after the app has been reinstalled, you should contact the developer. They might be able to help you resolve the issue.

I apologize if I came across poorly. I do see what you are talking about with other apps like music. I can close the music app and it gets rid of the paused track, but the music app is still listed above the controls and that kind of clutters the control center for no good reason. I've been trying to find something in the settings or reading on-line, but no luck.

From what I've read, this is the way Apple wants it to be in IOS 10, so there's no way to get around it. Guess the only thing you could do is make a suggestion about it to Apple.

This has been the way media apps have shown up for a long time. It shows the last radio or other media app you used though it is not actually loaded. It can be purged with app switcher and it still shows up. It will load it again if you touch Play. There is nothing wrong with the app or your device.

Everyone, I am not using iOS 10 on my iPad mini that's causing the problem, I'm on iOS 9, the latest update for my iPad! So when I restarted my iPad or not use it for a long time, the app name atop the what's playing thing on control center is gone.
