Why does audio stop when iphone 14 pro goes to Lock Screen?

Why does audio stop when iphone 14 pro goes to Lock Screen? This was never an issue with previous iOS. The music from iTunes, downloaded songs, voice memos, Notes Audio STOP when Phone goes to Lock Screen. This shouldn't happen. You want the phone on lock screeen to save battery and so you dont accidentally hit a button while important notes, and audio are playing. I saw questions about this back in 2021 but no answers??? Help please, love the Apple products and support.

iPhone 14 Pro Max

Hi there Ok cool,


If audio on your iPhone stops when locking the screen, you'll want to start by making sure it's updated to the latest iOS version, which is iOS 16.1.1. You can check the currently installed version by going to Settings > General > About > Software Version. If needed, learn how to update your iPhone here: Update your iPhone or iPad


If your iPhone is updated to iOS 16.1.1 and this behavior continues, you'll want to try restarting your iPhone to see if that resolves the issue for you. To restart your iPhone, follow these steps:


1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
The volume button is located on the left side of the device, and the side button is located on the right

2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.

You'll find those steps here: Restart your iPhone


Take care.
