# AVAudioSession.InterruptionReason.appWasSuspended

The system suspends the app and interrupts the audio session.

## Declaration

```swift
case appWasSuspended
```

## Discussion

Discussion Starting in iOS 10, the system deactivates the audio session of most apps when it suspends the app process. The next time the app runs, it receives a notification that the system deactivated its audio session. This notification is necessarily delayed in time, because the system can’t send it until the app restarts.
