The product specialist behind this are Shirley lp and software engineer Bhavana Radhakrishnan who mentioned in a blog post that this feature prominently is very useful especially in the suburban areas where internet speed is still a nightmare.

Be that as it may, things are surprisingly better for Android clients as it will be conceivable to explore out of the application and keep the sound playing while getting on with different things.
