How to avoid the playback stoppage when the phone touches your face?

Platform: 

Android
iPhone

There is a button to turn off the screen on the handset. In the iPhone is in the top right, and on Android terminals is usually on the right side. If we want to avoid a unwanted option selection when listening to an explanation, please turn off the display. This gesture will also save battery. And once the screen is activated back the guide will remain in the same point.
