Apple Music stops playing when I open another app on iPhone

Hi All,

Recently my apple music stops playing when I open another app. Let it be any app; games, new app, any app I open, the music stops. This is happening quite frequently now. I have apple music subscription too.

How to stop Apple Music from playing randomly after closing the App sometime the apple music start playing randomly even when i already close the app. How do i fix it for example when i play the game. I play the online mode in a game that force you to stay on that page or else you will lose connection. Even when the full top tab is unacceptable. So in mid round the apple music start randomly playing the song for a few seconds before it stop. This happened twice note that this is truly random, it doesn’t matter that i open the apple music beforehand or not because i surely didn’t it open on that day [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Music extremely buggy Hi, I’ve been a subscriber of Apple Music since it first came out, and I’ve been very happy with the service up until now. Over the past several weeks, it’s been extremely buggy. If I open a playlist and switch applications, even quickly and go right back to the playlist, it will have closed out completely and put me back on the main page which is irritating. It will also not allow me to add new songs to my library or playlists, outright refuses to unless I shut off my phone and restart it, which is also extremely annoying. It will skip songs on a playlist for no reason, and refuse to load others. After weeks of this I’m at my wits end. Any tips? Is there a patch coming? Should I switch to something else?

Apple music app crashing after iOS 18 update App crashes while playing playlists in few minutes. Not only crashing, it doesn’t show while you add a song into your playlist as already exists. However, it prompts after a while if the song already exists. This is also annoying as I’ve got more than 10k songs in my playlists!!!!
