iPod mini playing music. iPhone does not have music app installed

so my cat touched the iPod mini and it turned on

however it was playing music from the Apple Music app. My iPhone does not have this installed. Not any of my other devices (iPad mini and laptop turned off). But in the control center of my iPhone i can see the music app playing to the iPod. And when I touch it to pause , it asks if I want to restore my music app. How does this happen??

everything is updated to latest software.

HomePod mini, 17

iPhone not showing in Music App - why did they change this??? I don't understand why Apple keeps changing things that didn't need to be changed! It used to be really easy and simple: connect my phone via USB and put the music I want to select from my computer onto my phone. Now I plug the phone in and the Music app doesn't register it. I've tried all the 'helpful' tips and nothing works. All I want to do is select various tracks I've created myself on my computer and upload them onto my phone but that's impossible because Music doesn't allow the phone to connect to it. What did they change to make this once simple operation impossible!? And why!!??? SO ANNOYED!
