Recent update to Android and iOS app broke my usage

The most recent updates to the Android and iOS versions of the app have broken my usage.
I have a few tablets around my house permanently displaying specific cameras; for example, the tablet in my living room shows the front door camera. This is always on, well, until the recent update.
Now, the Tapo app requires me to press a button every 5 (ish) minutes in order to keep showing the camera on screen. Essentially, this has made my Tapo cameras useless as I no longer have continuous live view.
If this is not resolved in a future update, or God forbid this is by design, I will replace all 10 of my Tapo cameras with products from another vendor.
@Solla-topee thank you for your reply.
But I feel this is a generic copy 'n' paste answer that does not fully apply to my issue.
As I mentioned in my original post everything was working fine until the most recent updates to the Android and iOS applications. I have not changed anything on my tablets, the only change is the updated Tapo application.
All of my tablets are connected to my local Wi-Fi network, none are connecting over a VPN. None are using mobile data.
When the “continue” message appears on each tablet, I can successfully ping their respective IP camera.
I do not think this has anything to do with my router and my network topology but I will share that information regardless. My router is pfSense (this is an enterprise solution if you are unfamiliar), I am using 3x Ubiquiti UniFi (MPN: UAP-NANOHD) APs across my site.
EDIT: For clarification, this is the message that appears every 5 minutes since the recent update.
Before the recent updates (both on Android and iOS), I was only presented this message once, after selecting YES, the message disappeared and wouldn't be presented again, the live view would then continue without interruption.
