Audio pauses when locking/unlocking screen whilst not connected to charger
I have been experiencing this issue ever since upgrading to IOS18 on my iPhone 13. Whenever using any audio streaming application (Spotify, Apple Music etc.), if my iPhone is not being charged, if the screen times-out or I manually lock my iPhone, I notice a slight pause in the audio, then it resumes playing. I have attempted numerous restarts, various setting changes such as background app refresh etc., however to no avail. Anyone else had experienced/ is experiencing a similar issues ? Any possible solutions?
iPhone 13, iOS 18
