next song wakes display on iphone

When I am listening apple music with iphone on the table in front of me, the display lights up on every new song... Very disturbing. Turning off notifications for Music does not help. Neither battery saving option. Any idea how to get rid of this behavior? Just don't tell me it is not a bug but a feature...

Hello. Little bit old topic, but did not find solution that work to me there. iPhone bought in Europe and there is a "EU Volume Limit" in the Music Setting tab. When enabled never have this wake up problem. When disabled and beyond the volume limit iPhone wakes up on next song. In any case below this volume limit everything is OK. Not a huge issue but I completely do not understand why.

I think, I solved this problem, at least for now... (iPhone 6s) I think it's actually some kind of feature regarding the volume limit function. (It's not a new feature, just a little weird) I've been facing these issues recently too: When I press the vol. UP or DOWN buttons on my earpods (or another headphone) and when a new song comes in playlist, it wakes up the phone's display. But I noticed, that it only happens when the volume level is above a certain value. (Now, I updated to ios 14.1, high volume level is marked with yellow color, I don't remember how it was in previous versions). So the one thing you should try is Settings -> Music -> Volume Limit and turn it ON, and finally the main point, turn on EU Volume Limit. It removes the yellow part from the volume meter when you changing volume level. So basically, this whole display awakening thing is just supposed to be a warning, that you listening music too loud... Btw how could your phone tell you that music is too loud, if you can plug almost anything into that headphone jack..

Hello marcello.,


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having trouble with your iPhone screen waking when a song changes within the Music app. I'd be happy to share information that may help.


First, restart your iPhone: Restart your iPhone


Next, force the Music app to close: How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Finally, sign out of your Apple ID under Settings > tap on your name > Sign Out. Then sign back in again. Please note that signing out of your Apple ID may require you to re-download music downloaded for offline listening.


If you're still experiencing this, please reply with whether or not this happens when connected to Wi-Fi, while using cellular data, or both.


Take care.

I tried the suggestion about reset network settings. It didn't work. Another suggestion was to go into settings, go to the music app and set the volume limit. This has worked but obviously it will be quieter. I imagine that connecting through Bluetooth automatically sets the volume limit. It would be interesting to know if using Spotify for eg causes the same problem.
