i was able to watch videos (Apple TV and iTunes Store) just fine on my iPhone 8 a day or so ago, but now videos and podcasts are interrupted or pause frequently during play to be very annoying. I’ve cleared app cache memory and deleted higher memory podcasts and did restart and still very much a problem! Help? Thanks —-Jim

1. Restart your iPhone (you mentioned doing this already, which is a great step to take)
2. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
3. Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch
If you have follow-up questions, please let us know. We're here for you. Have a fantastic day!
