Hi, why does my music keep pausing randomly on carplay? If restarted my phone, my apps, reestablished connection but to no effect.
it happens on multiple apps like spotify and MeRadio(local digital radio streaming app)
iPhone 13 Pro Max
Hi,
I”ve been suffering from this specific problem for quite a few months now and can not seem to recall exactly when it started.
I’m on a iPhone 13 Pro currently running on iOS 15.4 and have had it when I was still on version 15.3/.1 etc. and it seems to happen to all media with no relation whatsoever to the specific app being used i.e. Apple Music/Spotify/YouTube Music/Vox etc.
I will add that ai realized that by me at least it specifically and only happened whilst the phone was plugged in with a cable to the car and when disconnected it would immediately resolve which of course made me go out and try different cables but seemingly it still occurs when using an original Apple lightning cable so I’m kind of out of options, any help regarding a fix for this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem with iPhone XSmax (probably not relevant) and ios 15.7.
playing to Bluetooth speakers. Plays and occasionally just randomly stops paying. The phone still “to thinks it’s playing “ (ie the pause button is displayed as the control on the music app) but no audio. Occurred in the past 4-5 months. I’m assuming apple broke something in the audio Subsystem.
its the basic Gen 1 core feature that apple cannot seem to keep working that are so frustrating. Playing music from files on the phone , reminders list to the watch (v2) , simpel stuff broken by updates.
Just an update on my specific case and I think I’ve solved the issue I was having with the iPhone music app just stopping.
the issue appeared to be with the playlists and music files on the phone. I sync up via pc iTunes over cable and push the data from the pc to the phone generally but a sync pulls data as well.
I suspect my music app data was just corrupted after 6 years of use without a new sync.
to fix my issue I deleted the playlists from my tunes , synced with the phone, then recreated new playlists on the PC and synced again. This way the music files and the playlists has to be recreated on the phone.
after That sync all seems to be well.
so if the iPhone music app is unexpected stopping playback - it may be due to corrupted playlist data or music file system on the phone. Wipe and resync it all.
A follow up just to confirm the root cause. It is the Alexa app. After using my iPhone for several weeks and not having the issue happen again I reinstalled the Alexa app and it immediately started happening again while driving. I haven't started modifying the settings within the Alexa app since there are so many so I'll simply remove it and just live without it.
Also happens on my iPhone 13 pro but not my iPhone 11 Pro. Happens when streaming music. Using new Apple cables and running latest software.
very very annoying and distracting when driving.
Having the same issue. iPhone 13 Pro Max. Don't have CarPlay in my car. Bluetooth Only .
Maybe it regards a popup message that's appear only in my car. See below.
This is happening to me as well. iPhone 13 pro, 15.6. Video in apps like TikTok are also pausing on their own.
