Has anyone experienced issues with Apple Music in iOS 18? For example, audio quality lowered despite Dolby Atmos and EQ off? Or trying to scroll through your playlist and the app crashes?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 15, iOS 18
My phone updated yesterday, took an hour to complete, and issues with Music started immediately. I've no degradation in sound quality, but (1) it has crashed a few times, (2) scrolling through playlists is jerky and slow, (3) album thumbnails don't always appear, (4) when one song finishes playing the next starts ok but the display still shows the previous song playing and the currently playing song next in queue, (5) when I start playing from a different playlist it doesn't always start playing, it displays Loading then fails and displays Not Playing, or occasionally reverting to the last song playing from the previous playlist, (6) (not an issue, just an annoyance) if a favourite song appears at the bottom of the queue and I want to move it to the top, when I click and hold the song the options have moved round and Move to Top isn't in the usual place!
There are other issues not connected to Music, eg my Notes are now all saved on iCloud, it seems. Lucky I don't have any personal information in them. Same with my photos. A few (not all) apps are very slow to load. A small number of websites need me to remember my passwords because my phone has forgotten them. Like I can remember 16 character randomly generated passwords! And last, but by no means least, the battery appears to be draining faster than usual, same as happened after several previous iOS upgrades, some of which took several further fixes to correct fully.
Yes I have - it was a part of the "remedy" which didn't work, proposed by the Apple support operative I spoke to 2 days ago.
In fact, none of what she recommended I should do actually fixed the problem of half of my music having been 'de-downloaded' by installation of the first version of iOS 18.
I am now having to re-download all the missing music manually.
None of it ever left my library or playlists - just the downloads went missing.
The other weird thing is that when I re-download a tune, the Download option in the menu remains highlighted - in other words, it makes it seem like the re-download hasn't worked. Yet at the same time, the little grey circle with a white arrow is displayed alongside the track, which is normally a sign that it has downloaded.
Confusing, or what?!?
Such a wealthy company with unbelievable resources.....yet so sloppy, once it has your money
Every time I try to add a song from my library to a playlist, the app just crashes. It only works if I find the song in “Apple Music” instead of “library”, or if I add the song directly from the album. But if I simply search a song in my library and press “add to playlist” the app will crash.
i recently had issues with the songs in my library kept repeating after every 4-5 songs. So I got on to apple and thought I got it sorted but no. Now repeats the same loop after 20 or so songs. 🙄
now the latest thing I’ve noticed is this. I was on a flight recently and put my phone on airplane mode. I set my self to play my music with my headphones and decided to play from a playlist within my library. It wouldn’t allow me to - said I need to be connected to WiFi or mobile data. So checked before flight took off. No problems playing on mobile data but as soon as I switched to airplane mode then I wouldn’t allow me to. So I played songs from my main library and I wouldn’t shuffle. It would allow me to skip but not shuffle.
i think the basic fact is apple wants everyone subscribed to Apple Music( which I’m not) and are pushing people in that direction by hook or by crook.
The ‘Quality’ of Video (Album Art) and Audio music playback has deteriorated noticeably since V 18… etc. Specifically, Album Artwork now appears much smaller on screen in ‘AirPlay’ mode. Also, the Audio quality has deteriorated noticeably in CarPlay mode.
Well updating to 18.2.1 wasn't a good idea, it's bricked my phone. Just been online to Apple Support for over an hour and they have no solution and suggest I go to Manchester or Liverpool to the nearest Apple store.
Maybe it's time to go back to Samsung?
Yes, everyone needs to start hammering them with Feedback and demanding a refund for the Music app since iOS 18 came out = 4 months now!
Feedback - Apple Music - Apple
I also had this issue since I have had it but it seems to be getting better.
iOS 18 upgrade music search screen freezes on iPad. I would type what I'm looking for results would shows but then the screen would freeze. Tech. support could not help.
Songs in my Apple Music playlists repeat even though they appear once. Selecting next song moves on.
I have similar problem witch my iPhone 13, tidal and usb DAC - audio is low quality and it’s not my feeling but I see it on led indicator on DAC
The “Go to Artist”
option appears to be gone now as well.
Yes - this is exactly the problem I am having when streaming to my HomePods from phone, iPad and ATV - driving me nuts
I figure out the solve!! Turn off vocal shortcuts in accessibility. Instantly, all issues went away.
I have exactly the same issues since the 18 update. Apple Music blocks suddenly and switches off.
Hi. After the latest update to MacBook, the language of the music application changes automatically. Normally it is Turkish but it shows English.
