  • Thanks so much for sending the video – that really helps us see exactly what’s happening.

    From what we can see, Pocket Casts appears to keep playing on the iOS lock screen, but the audio stops after a while. Since you’ve already checked battery settings, Bluetooth, and tried restarting your iPhone (and other podcast apps work fine), we’d like to dig a bit deeper.

    Please send the app logs via the app at Profile > Help & feedback > Contact Support > Get Support. In your message please share if you’ve tested downloading instead of streaming, and updated to the latest version of the app.
