IPhone 12 Plus consistently pausing music.

My IPhone 12 Plus recently started automatically pausing my music on Spotify when it’s plugged in to car, my headphones and went I play music off my phone. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have turned my phone off and deleted my Spotify app.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hi Sabra123,


We understand that your Spotify app pauses the music in several different situations, and we want to help. Have you noticed whether the behavior happens after you receive a notification on the phone? The reason we ask is that the apps can only use one source of audio input and output. If the iPhone receives a notification and plays the sound for that alert, the audio on the Music app will pause, and may not resume.


If the behavior is different, please feel free to send us additional details and we'll take it from there.


All the best!
