Why does my Music start playing automatically when I plug in headphones?

Yeees!! I have had same problem for months, since updating iOS. Getting really fed up as I need to use for work 100% of time. Can’t get ANY headphones to work properly and bought two new ones just in case it was that. Apple FIX this problem now!!! It’s gone on long enough!!!!

All:

Temporary work around: I turn off blue tooth connection to my car’s Bluetooth. Annoying and inconvenient. Can’t figure out a solution for ear buds. Ugh!

Permanent Solution Request:

Go to Apple Feedback and ask for update fix to turn OFF auto play. Apple feedback link the is hub for direct-to-Apple requests, and they really DO listen if you post there.

good luck!

This Itunes Auotostart problem is really annoying.

It happens on my car stereo and on my Airpods pro, both connected through Bluetooth.

As annoying is Apple’s refusal to comment on this and explain their intention with this (mal)function. After 15 years with iPhone, I’m inclined to change to Android😡

its happening with me on airpods too!! please help!!!! its really annoying when you disconnect the call , music starts playing! and then you have to switch off the music and then go back to make another call

Just fixed this on my iPhone. Go to Settings/Cellular Data. Scroll down to cellular data and unclick the app that is automatically starting. In my case apple music and podcasts. Got this from apple support.

Good Luck.

I have a WiFi only iPad Air so there is no cellular setting to turn off. I have already decided not to use earbuds or headsets with my iPhone in hopes of avoiding this problem what’s worse is that this may be contributing to sucking battery life from my iPad, which seems to be degrading faster and faster. I already gave up on Macintosh in favor of a Awindoze machine, something I never thought I would do. Is my iOS investment going the same way? Wake the f up Apple!

I have 13.3 on my iPad and this morning I was watching a TV show and music started playing randomly. It wasn't even anything on my personal playlist. No offense but I'm old and Fall Out Boy just ain't cutting it for me. ;)

Didn’t work for me. This is incredibly annoying. Been iPhone as long as I can remember. I think it may be time to go Android. Shame that a gazillion billion trillion dollar company hasn’t fixed this yet. Apple sucks for letting this issue go on for so long without resolving it.

I haven’t heard anything. Ima give’em till the end of January to fix this bs and then I guess it’s time to make the move to Android. Maybe if enough of us threaten to switch up they’ll actually do something about this annoying bug. I was on the phone with someone with my headphones plugged in while reading your reply to my post and my phone hung up on the person I was speaking to and started playing Bob Marley. How ironic.....and annoying.

This akso happens in CarPlay. Get in, start car, music. Annoying as ****. Ask Siri to stop and she replies, paused. 5 seconds later it starts again. This is a bug tagt has been around more than a year! It stopped for a short ehilewhile when 13 first came out, but then started soon after the first update. God I hate this!

It’s not a permanent solution but this is the best link I’ve found, it at least gives you multiple temporary solutions. In my opinion the best way to make your music stop automatically playing with connecting to a Bluetooth device to go to Settings>Cellular>Scroll Down to the Music App that is giving you the issue and Switch the Toggle to Off. *The only downside to this is when you finally want to play music you won’t be able to play it unless you’re on Wi-Fi so you’ll have to go back into settings>cellular and turn the toggle back on. Hope this helps!

Appreciate the research and work ya put in tracking down that solution. Truly. I can’t speak for everyone.....but my phone only starts losing its mind when I’ve got wired headphones plugged in. Maybe when I can afford to spend $150 on some AirPods I’ll have a solution to this annoying mess.

Same problem here, whenever I use airbuds or earphones my music app starts playing at random times not consistently. After deleting the app now my podcast subscriptions start playing without touching the phone after several minutes. Talking to Apple they couldn’t find the switch to stop the apps from playing...

This really is not only extremely annoying but often downright startling depending how loud my volume is set when the song randomly starts blasting in my ear or car.

I chatted with Apple Support and just as people mentioned they didn’t seem to know how to fix the issue. The representative transferred me to 2 different “Tech Specialists” and after about 20 minutes they told me to go to settings>general>reset all settings... It not only did not fix the problem but it just made me more frustrated since I had to rearrange all my apps back to the way I had them as well as re download my ringtone and wallpaper. They are going to have to eventually fix this bug for good due to the amount of people who are having this issue. We just need to keep complaining...
