Music automatically play when I launch games or videos on my Apple devices

IPad Pro M2. iPhone 15 pro max. iOS 18.xx and all the OS’ on the way up.

Music is not on loop or repeat (not that it should matter) but when I return to a game, or play an ad in a game, or get a few seconds into a TikTok , YouTube, etc. , suddenly the audio switches to the last song I was playing in Music.

It doesn’t matter whether music is open or not, whether it’s on loop or auto play, continuous, or any other settings. (It shouldn’t matter - music app should be completely unaffected by all other apps and settings). I just have to stop the game, open Music, stop the song, return to the game or video, and hope it doesn’t happen again in 3 minutes or a few seconds.

This has been an ongoing issue for a long time. Fix it, Apple.
