Music pauses when a message is received

Hey Bboy4life,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand you have some questions about managing your notifications. I definitely understand wanting to be able to enjoy your music uninterrupted, and I'm happy to help.

I recommend checking out the resource below about managing the notifications for your device. Specifically, the section "Manage notifications" can help you ensure that your notifications don't interrupt your music.

Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

You can also use Do Not Disturb if you'd prefer. You can see more about that here: Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Thanks again, and have a great day!
