What is this playing while my iPhone is locked?

So a few times ive noticed this on my lock screen even if I've not been watching anything or playing any music etc on my phone, when I've went to the website it's something's to do with amazon web services but im just wondering what video is it playing and why is it accessing my phone randomly? Thanks

To get rid of that on your lock screen, pull up Control Center from the bottom of your screen, swipe left to get to the audio controls, and tap on the app that appears above them. Find where within the app this may be coming from and stop it. If this is not obvious and you are not currently using the app, force it to close by double pressing the home button and swiping up on the preview.

Currently its not playing anything. Its showing you the last media item the iPhone was playing, and that is currently paused or stopped.


You can tap on the playback button (big triangle) to resume playback.


It would appear that the last thing you played was a video from Amazon Prime or similar. You can play something else and it should replace that.
