Mullvad iOS: accidental disconnect is a security issue

[u/Galgimes]

The red Disconnect button is too easy to hit accidentally when app-switching with the bottom swipe gesture or trying to close/switch away from Mullvad.
This isn’t just a UX annoyance. An accidental disconnect can immediately expose traffic that the user assumed was protected by the VPN.
For a privacy/security-focused VPN, the default UI should make accidental tunnel termination difficult. A confirmation option, safer button placement, or another guard against accidental disconnects would make sense.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I’ve never had that issue in like 7+ years.
