Stop auto play when I connect Bluetooth headphones

I have an iPhone 13. I cannot turn off autoplay. When ever I connect my Bluetooth headphones, music plays. I have spent ages trying to sort this out. I do not have the autoplay symbol to be able to turn it off. (The infinity symbol). Is there anyone out there who can help? I really am getting fed up with this. Thank you.

Apple Music automatically playing when devices are connected? How to disable? Every time I connect a bluetooth device to my iphone 16, Apple Music will auto launch in the background and start playing music. The app is not even launched, just whenever any bluetooth device is connected it will start blasting automatically in the background. I have to launch the Music app, bring up the player, and stop the track every time I connect a bluetooth device. I have tried every hack to disable it. Disabled handoff, all sharing and sync options, created several shortcuts to set volume as zero and pause all music etc when bluetooth is connected, however there is no consistent hack that works. The shortcuts automations work maybe the first couple times, then never work again so it isn't consistent. Does anyone have a working solution to this? Apple won't address the problem.

Disable BlueTooth Music AutoPlay when connecting headphones (do not tell me how to in car, please) This looks like an ongoing problem for many, with weirdly no apparent solution. How do I stop music from autoplaying on my iPhone and iPad when I connect my Bluetooth headphones? I am not asking about my car system.

Stop music from autoplaying when I get in the car!!!!! Make it stop!!!! How can I turn off autoplay? Nothing on Youtube works, nothing online works. Creating a shortcut works for a few hours, then music starts autoplaying again when I get in the car. There are NO buttons on the Music app (shuffle and repeat buttons don't do anything)to stop this. I have had this issue with 3 Iphones. This is the Iphone 15 ProMax. Shutting off Carplay or Handoff do nothing. There is no point in turning off bluetooth if I can't use my speaker phone when I drive. How can this continue to happen in 2024??

I’ve called Apple and tried literally all their suggestions, only to finally get told “the phones are designed to do this” 🤦🏼‍♂️ so many complaints about it but of course there’s no one fixing it.

What really frustrates me is that the advice is to turn off the autoplay symbol - I would if there was the **** symbol there to turn off.
