Getting messages when tuned out of frequency

Few days ago I was transferred from Tower to Ground but still hearing messages from the Tower frequency even though I was on Ground and even when I tuned out of all frequencies. I was Korean 616 in the 2nd screenshot.

Hey there!

Is this a recurring issue or the first time this has happened? I can’t seem to find a related support topic elsewhere.

If it’s the latter, it’s perfectly possible it’s just a temporary glitch and an app restart will fix it.

It happens to me too for only a few seconds it’s because theres many people tuning in and inputting the messages

This happened to me as well a couple weeks ago. I tuned into Tower after being handed off by Center, but for some reason I couldn’t hear anything from the Tower controller and I kept getting messages from Center. And worse, I was on short final. I worried I haven’t got clearance to land so I just ended my flight.

This exact same thing just happened to me today and i basically ended my flight when i got off the runway

This happens because even if you’re not in the frequency you will continue receiving all the messages that have been emitted while you were connected. This normally happens when traffic is heavy and there’s a lot of communications happening at the same time, it’s not possible to process them at the same time so they display according to its emission time.
