Site Locks if No Opponent

Sort:
Whatsnu
When I want to play (10 minute standard I go through the steps and the System finds a match. Sometimes finding a match takes a while - and may take longer than I want to wait.
-- It used to be possible to "X" out of the search and do something else. For the last few weeks that "X" is not available. I can't get out of the opponent-search screen by any method. Exiting Chess-Dot-Com and using another program just means when I return to Chess the same screen is locked. Putting the 'phone in Airplane Mode doesn't help. Only a complete power-off restart clears this.
-- iPhone SE#2, iOS 18.5. Thanks for your help!

Same thing this morning: I say I want to Play, the site starts searching, and says it has to keep looking to find an opponent in my basement rating. But it will not let me get out, and to Lessons or Puzzles (which I pay for). Nothing except cold shutdown and restart of my iPhone will get it out of the "Searching" page. Please fix.
