Hi,
I too have this issue. My ISP does not provide a fixed IP address and
if the address changes, the Android client does not reconnect. Not
very user friendly as it is hard to do external checks and restart on
mobile.
Also this is true for the desktop version of wireguard, at least on
Linux with both ifupdown and systemd-networkd (i could script a check
and restart easily though).
