Podcasts Stops Playing in Background When Using Safari
There appears to be a playback bug with the Podcasts app with the latest iOS 8.4.1. When a podcast is playing in the background while engaged in some other activity on an iPhone 6 in the foreground like browsing the internet using Safari, the podcast will stop playing whenever data is transmitted over a cellular connection. This happens even when the podcast isn't streaming but playing back from a downloaded file saved on the iPhone 6. This playback interruption only occurs when data is transmitted over a cellular connection (a Verizon LTE connection in my case); background playback of the podcast doesn't stop if you happen to be surfing over a wifi connection. I am pretty confident this bug with background playback did not exist with previous versions of iOS but cannot be sure. Anyone else experience the same problem? There doesn't appear to be any way workaround except for keeping the Podcasts app in the foreground.
