Q: My iPhone stops playing music when taking photos?!

Done! Now the ridiculous wait begins... I love stumping "Geniuses" with this question when I have time on my travels. So far have brought it up in Pasadena, CA , Costa Mesa, DC store, and soon I will be going to the Palo Alto store with it. You guys should (if you have the time) take it to the local Genius at your store also...

My question at the end can never be answered by any Genius.

I always ask : "Are you guys moving backward in usability with the 6s?"  The answer is a blank stare...

I dont get it!!

This is infuriating.  APPLE FIX THIS!!!   I don't want to be stuck with this crappy phone for 2 years!  If I can't use the few features I actually want, what is the point?! 

Hello,

Confirming this problem persists in the newly released iOS 9.3.1, as well as on iPhone SE.

Even with "Live Photos" turned off, music/audio mutes when accessing the Camera.  This problem is not present within "in-app" Camera functions (i,e; Messages "Take a Photo") which leads me to believe this is a bug with Live Photos not truly being "off" despite the user selecting that option.

Reported to Apple as bug report #25510897

Thanks,

Sam

GREAT! All we can do now is keep presssuring because if not they will continually lie to us (one genius called it a "hardware limitation" and gasped when I showed him that you can listen to music and take a photo during imessage with no problems)

I just wish that the great company that is apple wasnt so darn dumb when it comes to things like this. I mean, this is something that Steve would have simply not allowed. And neither should any of todays management allow HUGE BUGS LIKE THIS!

It's troubling that this is among a number of reports from others that a "genius" was making an excuse for this.  Maybe if we all tweeted with a common hashtag?  How about #IOScamerabug?

Holy ****, I have this problem for a long time but didn't start solving it since the Google is blocked in China.  Recently, I moved to States and eventually I found that I am not alone.   Cool, so many friends have the same issue as me.  Let's wait the 7, 7s, and iOS 10.

Thanks for that. Still reporting on this HUGE Apple BUG that is persistent.

keep in mind, I can be on a phone call on speakerphone and take photos all day!!!!

but if I want to listen to music I cant take a darn photo! What a huge FAIL! Apple coding FAIL.

NO C-Level will answer about this and No major apple "news" website reports or pressures them on this. 

SO we must be that 1%.

now you know. That Apple has horrible service On their broken devices and or features.

You better hope your in warranty, in return period, to be able to do something

Holy! This was the first thing i noted when i bought a ip6. in 2015, 18month ago!

and i said to myself **** off, they will fix it. i don't want to report every bug. im not part of apples quality assurance. i don't get money from apple. i pay every 1-2 years 800€ for a new device, that doesn't work as expected.

can't imagine we are the only one. how often we listen to music or podcast with headphones or a bluetooth box and want to take a picture?

i often think that apple developer don't use there own products.

btw. do you think apples accounting/management use numbers?

hey jazeboy...so were inthe middle of April now, where is that update again?

Can someone please bring this up to a SvP up there at Apple . this is ultra freaking annoying bug.

I have the same problem on my new iPhone SE. I just noticed it today when I tried to take pictures while hiking.

Today, surprisingly I realized it is taking photos and playing the headphones...

I don't know if Apple has made some change without launching any update.

I hope that it is happening to others too

Really?  Are you launching the camera directly?  My 6S+ still does it. 

I sent in another bug report for what good that will do.  The more time goes by, the more annoyed I am with this whole thing. 

Bueller? Bueller?  Apple? 

problem is definitely still present in 9.3.1.  there have been no changes as far as I know and it would definitely be creepy if apple was able to update an OS native (read: not web-based) app without a software update.  that's not a thing.

Try to press the block button until the shutoff slide appears. After that, press during some seconds the home button.

This is something I did yesterday and perhaps could be the solution...

I tried... did not work for me =/
