When you close the game and clear the cache from the phone's settings, the pause mode option disappears and becomes disabled.

This issue is especially jarring when going on a trip or just generally offline. I've played the game, and had to do something, so I paused it, and realized it didn't pause when it normally does. This can lead to issues when someone assumes the game will pause, but it doesn't because the option is not available offline.
