Hello, Roberson71.


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you’re experiencing an issue with the Audible app on your new iPhone 12 Pro that you weren’t experiencing on your previous device. It sounds like your audio may be pausing when your iPhone screen is locked, and you want to make adjustments that allow you to continue listening to your audiobooks. 


Per the Audible Help pages, you may need to make adjustments in the Audible player to disable auto lock on your iPhone when you’re using the app:
