Ios13 - podcast or music stops playing when going into messages

We still don’t have an answer to this. Why does apple almost always have bugs with updates these days? Anytime I send a text while my phones uses Bluetooth my music pauses and really any audio I have pauses it’s really annoying.

Does anyone have a fix for this? My phone started doing this out of the blue yesterday. Nothing had changed from the day before yet suddenly sound disappears when screen goes black. I have restarted phone, reinstalled the particular Radio app i have always used with no issue, closed all open apps. There has been no recent update for this particular app. I shouldn't have to keep the screen on to listen to the radio when i've never had to before. Very frustrating!

I am having the issue on IOS 13.3 on iPhone with 3rd party audio apps, Audible, Libby, and Overcast. The only app that works without pausing Audio is Apple Podcasts.

I have taken the following steps with no improvement. Uninstalled/Reinstalled offending apps, and restarted the phone each time, no dice.

Using AirPods 2.

Please fix!

I’m currently running IOS 13.3.1 on an iPhone XS and have the same issue of random pausing no matter the circumstance. This phone was used for beta testing in the past but has since been removed from the program. I’ve had it plugged in to CarPlay, listening to music while charging, or simply playing music with the screen unlocked (no auto lock set). I’ve restarted several times, deleted/downloaded the music app, and still have had no relief from this.

Totally as already described. Problem started straight after iphone 13 update. All podcasts cut out 1 minute after the screen is locked. It affects Chrome, but Safari is protected.

It is entirely unacceptable that Apple has not fixed this issue of their own creation. Where is their collective brain? Next phone won't be an apple. Neither will next computer.

The same problem on X with 13.1, when listening Apple Music or another music app through bluetooth an switch to messages, WhatsApp or Telegram, music stops. I have to switch back and tap play button.

my music stops when screen is auto-locked....this is so bad

It happens to me when I am playing through my bluetooth speaker. I turned the phone off and back on and nothing. I would like to add I am using an Iphone 6

Having same issue on iPhone X after updating to iOS 13.1. When screen locks or if open messaging app, podcast stops playing.

Same problem. Cuts off plying Podcasts and Music, when open Messages. Bluetooth and phone. Iphone Xr. This is embarrassing, IMHO.

I’ve had this problem regardless of the version of iOS, I think the equipment and os are mature enough to skip this amateur hour stuff. Very annoying, but “they” know best right?

Can confirm this is happening on 13.1.2. Very frustrating. Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube... any app it seems cannot be backgrounders for audio when opening Messages.

Exactly same here. Can’t even read my messages without phone stopping podcasts, Spotify, music app. Really annoying. Please fix

Try disabling Auto-Play Message Effects (Accessibility>Motion) in Settings. This seems to have solved it for me. (iPhone 8+ just upgraded to 13.1.2 and found the problem).

A power off/power on restart of my phone “fixed” the issue. I am able to listen to audio in background when opening Messages.
