How to disable or delete the Music app on iPhone?

Hello!


Music app is always in the way. Also, it is useless for me, I use other apps.

But it randomly starts when: BT device is activated, want to listen to a music file which should be associated with other apps to open, etc.


How can I completely disable or even delete it? Or just disable to: not opening any music files in it; not starting the latest whatever file when connecting or activating BT dvice. I do not even use its library, I have my own sorting system.


Thanks.

Press and hold on the Music App to bring up the menu, and then choose Remove App, and then on Delete App to completely delete the app.


Do note, this may haver side effects, like the widget in control center not working anymore.
