Streaming Music Playback Keeps Stopping

Hello all.

I wanted to ask if anyone else is having this problem and, if so, what steps you were able to take to fix the problem. Whenever I stream a radio station online, after a few minutes playback just stops. Some apps will skip to a different station, and some will just cease playback. At first I thought it was just one app, but trying the same streams on different apps acts exactly the same. It does not matter if it streaming over cellular or Wi-Fi. Apps I have that stream radio include iHeart, OoTunes, Radio Tuner, My Tuner Radio, Receiver, and others. Obviously, I have restarted the phone to try and fix the problem. I have also turned off and then back on cellular and Wi-Fi. I even turned off both cellular and Wi-Fi, not to mention Bluetooth, and then restarted the phone, to no avail. Speaking of Bluetooth, this does not only happen over Bluetooth. It happens using wired headphones as well, and also with the speaker.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hope everyone is doing well.

EDIT: This does not happen with YouTube. Very strange.

Has anyone filed a feedback or reached out to app developers?

Hi All,
I'm glad someone has posted this, I seem to betting this quite a lot, especially with radio apps, and only on my iPad Mini running the latest version of iOS.
The funny thing is, I get this issue using most radio streaming apps, apart from one app, which is BBC Sounds, quite popular in the UK, all other radio apps tend to stop after a little while.
