Minecraft: Pocket Edition was updated to version 0.6.0 on January 30th, 2013.
Minecraft 1.9 was never officially released, but they released 5 pre-versions that you could download manually. However, now 2.0 is out.
As of right now, being the current version of 1.7.3, that problem does not exist unless you are running a version of Minecraft that is unstable.
