A dropped call usually means media transport or session heartbeat was interrupted. PersonApp can recover by reconnecting, but stable network and active foreground tab behavior reduce repeated drops.

## Steps

1. Keep PersonApp tab active while matching and avoid background tab throttling.
2. Switch from unstable mobile data to stronger Wi-Fi if possible.
3. If dropped, use reconnect or skip once to force clean session setup.
4. Check VPN/firewall restrictions if drops happen at a fixed interval.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does skip cause call drops?

Skip intentionally tears down the current session and starts a new match, which is expected behavior.

### Can stale sessions affect drops?

Yes. Cleanup routines reset waiting records to prevent stale partner links.
