iPhone app bug: 'white/black resigned' banner persists beyond relevant game.

There is a bug in (presumably the latest) lichess iPhone app, wherein the banner "White resigned. Black is victorious." appears and remains on the screen indefinitely, into the next game(s) and even when clicking the three-horizontal bar drop down menu icon. I'd specify the app version however the 'About' option isn't the typical format for software insofar as it doesn't list the version number. Similarly, I would provide screen shots, but I don't see a way to provide images along with feedback by attaching, copy/pasting nor drag & drop.
I've had this bug before, and I find that when I wait a couple of seconds before searching for another game then the bug does not appear as frequently. (afaik it only happens when searching for a second game after a previous one) It's not a fix but might prevent it from occurring as often.
I had this problem too. The trick is to restart lichess.
Link to screenshot. It's not obvious from that pic but that's the next game and it is in progress, I played it all the way through and you can see if you look up the opponent's name, the game ended in checkmate, not resignation.

I exited and re-started the app to clear the banner or I could show you a screenshot of the message persisting also even when I was not playing chess with an opponent but merely going through the menu options.
