Hello. When streaming audio content from a website, it stops when the screen locks. While I have the podcast app, the show episodes I want to hear are organized in a better, more accessible way on the website. Is there a work around for this? The phone has a max of 5 minutes till it locks. Thank you!

Hey Sunster4,
Sounds like your podcasts playing from a particular site are pausing when the iPhone screen locks. However, once this occurs, are you able to then press play? We ask as this may be intended behavior for this website, but if you can still play it after it pauses from the Lock Screen that's probably your best bet moving forward if you don't want to use the Podcasts app.
If you're not able to unless unlocking your iPhone screen, we'd suggest continuing to use the Podcasts app instead. For more info on following and playing shows in the Apple Podcasts app, check out: Follow and play shows in Apple Podcasts on iPhone and iPad
We hope this information helps out.
Take care!
Thanks for the reply and trying to help! It’s a sleep story podcast so having to unlock and press play defeats the purpose. The podcast app plays fine, I just can’t listen to specific story chapters in order. Appreciate the suggestion though.
