Apple Music keeps crashing iOS 18.3

It looks like other people had this issue back in the fall. It just started for me now. I’ve been on iOS 18.3 since it came out, like a week ago? It will play a few songs then skip to a song that’s not in the queue, then when I try to change it, it crashes. Then when I reopen it, it crashes. I am on the most recent iOS. I have forced closed all apps and restarted the phone. Still happens. I have removed downloads, then re-downloaded. Still happens. This is really annoying for someone who purchases the Apple Music subscription.


I am on an iPhone 16 Pro.

apple music started being extremely unstable after iOS 18 update. it seems in their efforts of speeding up the OS they touched apple music which worked fine and added lots of weird optimisations - for example some albums won’t add to queue until i open them and then add to queue from the album view, or they’ll load tracks i don’t have in the library (like it’s sending a request for the album instead of being preloaded like back in the day).


the app constantly crashes when i do something with queue or search, it’s infuriating and the animations are inconsistent (and reduce motion doesn’t even work on them)

Sooo freaking annoying! It’s happening on my iPad as well as my iPhone. Suddenly stops playing … then starts up again. Sometimes it doesn’t and I have to hit play again. Starts a new song before the current one is playing. Tried the new Country Radio - constant glitching - I thought it was the channel so when to my own playlists. Still doing it!!!!!
