BUG or UB: Music, videos, and playlist stop playing when phone is locked.

I use various music and video apps, such as VLC because Apple doesn’t support a LOT of codecs, FLAC for instance.


When I start a playlist, the first song plays fine. During the song, the phone locks and the song continues to play fine. But once that first song is finished, everything stops. It doesn’t continue. I’ve tried different apps and it’s the same. This is either a bug or unexpected, unintuitive behavior.


I hope this can be fixed soon.


thanks

If you are referring to music/songs other than on Apple Music, then I am sorry you will have to contact the App developer. Because Apple Music does not behave the way you have narrated.


If you are experiencing any difficulty with third-party apps then please contact the app developer directly --> How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
