Music and podcasts stop after 15 seconds, after the new update on the phone

Hi mushrik32,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! If your music and podcasts stop unexpectedly, let's try the steps below that may help:

1. Try testing using another Wi-Fi network.
2. Does the issue occur with downloaded content? If so, try deleting and redownloading the content. For example if it's the from Apple Music, delete it and redownload it. If it's sync from your computer via a USB cable, then you would unsync and resync
3. Are you using Sync Library? If so, toggle sync library off and back on then test.

After trying those steps if the issue remains, we recommend that you reach out to Apple Support directly to take a further look. Please reach out here:

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
