Hi gibbyY,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're having trouble with music and videos pausing or resuming unexpectedly, songs are being skipped in Spotify, and Siri is activating without being prompted. I can see why you'd reach out about this behavior; I'd like to help. First, I'd recommend using this resource to troubleshoot the apps you're having trouble with playback in: If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open


I'd also recommend using these steps for Siri:

  • Tap Settings > Siri & Search
  • Disable "Listen for Hey Siri," "Press Side Button for Siri," and "Allow Siri When Locked"
  • Restart your iPhone
  • Set up Siri again and take some time to test for the behavior.


If you continue to have trouble, please provide the following details:


Which iOS version is installed on your iPhone?


Do you notice if the issues with audio and video playback occur on a specific Wi-Fi network or when using cellular data?


Did this behavior begin after updating or making any changes to the Settings on your device?




Best Regards.
