There is no way other than tapping or flicking on the screen within every 5 minutes to keep it unlocked. Or, like you say, setting the lock to Never while using that app. Some apps, however, if you manually lock the phone when you start playing a show will keep playing. I think Overcast does, but it has been a while. If streaming a TV show or movie, check to see if there is a picture-in-picture option, if so, activate that with a double tap, wait a few seconds and lock the phone and it will keep playing. That is how I manage it with things I am playing through the Xfinity stream app.

As a bit of background, I've got my IPHone set up to lock itself after 5 minutes (I wish it had every ten like my 9th Generation IPad does)… thus I'd like for apps like "Overcast" among others, to respect this; I could be engrossed in a podcast within the "Overcast" app, or reading something within the "BookPlayer" app, and next thing I know, the IPHone locks by itself! I've looked into "Overcast" settings, but can't find anything regarding "never-locking" or similar. So is there no way, if the app lacks this setting, to make the IPHone never lock except by changing this within the IPHone Settings itself to "never lock"? Which I wouldn't have to one to do because most of the time, I'd like for the IPHone to lock itself.
