When I use Tidal connect on my iPhone, then leave the Tidal app and return again it is no longer controlling the music. Rather the WIIM Home app is controlling the music. That wouldn't be so bad if the Home app maintained updated collections information. It doesn't. The collections in the Tidal section of the Home app are completely out of date. I find this situation annoying but my wife finds it unworkable. My tech cred is now being seriously questioned. Is there help available?
Can Tidal Maintain Connect Control?

Are you logged in with the same Tidal user account in both apps?
I have no issues with the synchronization of the Tidal collection. It's working fine in both directions. The play control is also fine in both apps when they are restarted.
Welcome.
I use Android and sometimes have the same problem, with the tidal app seemingly somehow 'losing' its status / connection with the wiim.
Sometimes it seems to be related to my tablet's network connection - if I find the wiim app also has issues finding all my wiims then disabling / enabling wifi on the tablet might fix it, or switching my tablet to the other wifi band (i.e. from 2.4 to 5ghz or vice versa) fixes it.
This seems to happen most when I move from one end of the house to the other and I think my tablet switches access point.
Sometimes I simply need to press the cast button in the tidal app and select the wiim and it reconnects and shows what's playing again.
(This is when the tidal app shows the cast button when nothing is playing, which isn't always the case.)

I was NOT logged into the same account!!! Thank you! That seems to have taken care of it. Now I get to see how running Tidal exclusively from W/IIM works! Yahoo!
