Hello,

I am running the latest version of iOS 13 and since some weeks I have a very stupid bug.... When I am playing music wiht Spotify or any other music app and I lock the screen.... my phone keeps trying to unluck again, again and again!!!!! I have to turn off Voice-Over to lock the phone.
Does someone else also have this problem?

Yup, I've also been experiencing this. For me, it usually happens only when using Apple's wired earPods, as my airPods are currently being repaired. :-)
I didn't know of the turning off VO workaround, that's actually useful. Thanks.

I have the same problem. If I play audio with a headset plugged in and lock the screen, then after some seconds the unlock screen is displayed. I hear the time and the phone ocks again. I know in The Netherlands where I live a lot of people have this problem. Some also without a headset plugged in. I searched Google, but did not find any related issue. So, it seems it is VoiceOver related. If you start playing audio, without headset plugged in, lock the screen and then plug the headset in, you do not have this problem. But if you unlock the screen with headset plugged in to go for example to the next number in a Spotify playlist, the problem is there again after locking the screen.It is nearly imossible to listen to audio via the 3.5 MM port. I have no problems when using a Bluetooth headset.

The other day I had to go out without my airpods as their batteries were flat and there was no power in the charging case. i could have taken a power bank along with me but i thought sticking my wired earpods in my pocket would be less hassle. I found that the screen wouldn't stay locked when playing audio, just like the rest of you. I'm happy to say it doesn't happen when using airpods or I'd be in a bit of a pickle.
