IOS suggestion: Lock background audio

Posted: 11 May 2022 10:27 PM PDT

A lot of the time I'm playing audio in the background via some app (Google drive is the main one I have trouble with, but same goes for a lot of Picture in Picture video apps) and scrolling through Facebook or Reddit, random posts will constantly interrupt it. Would be cool if there was a way to lock background audio via the control panel (swipe down top right) so that those things won't pause your background audio.
