Sick of Apple’s Music autoplay

This is not helpful and doesnt solve this problem. Can someone at Apple support please tell us how to stop the iPhone Music app from autoplaying ANYTHING when bluetooth connections are made. This has been an embarrasment in meetings when we connect a speakerphone, for example, and at all other times it is just annoying.

I tend to agree with the person who replied, the fact the setting to turn this off is difficult to find (ans the fact it is turned on by default) does seem to imply some hidden purpose for forcing this feature on us.

Imho all new features (except security or privacy controls) should be OFF by default. Let us, the users, go looking for new features, hear about them from friends etc, then turn them on.

also - I personally would prefer to see a new "Music Autoplay settings" global setting, within which we can step through EACH bluetooth device that has an active pairing record with our phone, and choose WHICH MUSIC APP will autoplay BY BLUETOOTH DEVICE, or NONE. All should default to NONE.

This is so we can have one app autoplay in headphones we select, a different one in the car, ans maybe NONE on that office Bluetooth speakerphone.. See how this would be helpful?

At a mininum, there needs to be a global autoplay setting in Settings that allows us to "Don't allow music apps to play automatically" until you work this out.

My only option here in the mean time is to delete your Music app entirely until this is resolved.

thanks, Marc

Hello, eliezer_cazares.

Let's start off by checking the helpful steps in this article: Add music to your queue to play next on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device. It explains: "To turn Autoplay on or off, tap the Autoplay button in the upper-right corner of your screen. If you turn off Autoplay on one of your devices, then Autoplay is turned off on any device that's signed in with your Apple ID."

Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
