Dual/Overlapping audio

When playing music on my phone (from any service) and I happen to play a video on Facebook or Instagram.


The music doesn’t pause or stop playing while the audio from Instagram is playing. They just both overlap and play at the same time.


I’ll have to pause the music manually and press play again when done.


How can I get my phone to pause audio when another source starts playing?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Manually Disabling:

They are their own applications; purely irrelevant to one another (each by their own developer). So, they will overlap. You have to keep disabling one manually.
