Why does my iPhone skip songs on its own?

I have been having issues when I’m driving and listening to music on Spotify it starts skipping song. It doesn’t even let me finish one song when it’s already skipping not just one song but several songs. At first I thought it was my Spotify but today I decided to play the Apple Music and it did the same thing. It’s annoying and I already tried the “shake undo” and it still does it. I have the iPhone 12 Pro and the latest iOS. What can I do so I can finally listen to music without it skipping songs?

Hello jmad82,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We understand your music is skipping no matter what app you use. Does this only happen in your car? Also, are you using CarPlay, or a Bluetooth stereo that isnt CarPlay enabled?


A few things to try while we wait for those answers.


Restart your iPhone. - Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

Close these apps and reopen them. - Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

Force restart. - Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


Let us know those answers and if any of these steps help. We will go from there.


Cheers!
