Why do I have to keep my iPhone on iHeart radio to hear the music?

Why do I have to keep my iPhone 12 Pro Max on iHeart radio to hear the music ? If I go to do anything else on my phone or it simply goes to sleep the music turns off. That isn’t any good , I go back to the iHeart radio app and it starts playing again.

Apple Music Radio Hi. When I try to listen to the radio in the “Radio” tab of the Music app on my iPhone 11(iOS 15.6), it doesn't work. If I hit the play button, it turns into the stop button like it's playing but it doesn't actually play. If I hit the stop button, it turns into play for a few seconds, then it turns back into play. The only station I found that still works is Apple Music 1. I don't have an Apple Music subscription so I can't test the other Apple stations. I restarted my iPhone and I made sure my volume was turned up.

Turning Music off so it stops draining the battery I don't want Music on pause. I don't want it to auto start up when I put in earphones. I don't want it sitting waiting for me and sucking the battery. I don't want to have a song sitting there at all. How do I "just simply" turn it off and then turn it on WHEN I WANT IT ON. Man, this is annoying. I click on the paused song, hit the 3dots and get add to library, playing, share, share, show, love, ..., NO... I want to close the song. I click airplay and see the phone and all my rook devices. No, I want to close the app and close the song I go to Settings > Music and I see Cellular data, add songs, sync library (and apparently if I turn that off everything is shut down, except that doesn't actually shut anything down on the phone, download in dolby, automatic downloads, sound checks. How about turning it off? The music starts up when I put in the earphones. Then I have to find the app, the playlist and then swipe up because the music is in the background. The app isn't open like any other app. I have to open the playlist to close it. That's special

iPhone playing downloaded songs automatically in my car So here is what happens - I plug my iphone 11 in my car via USB and it works fine for phone calls and doesn’t start playing anything automatically, I usually listen to the radio in the car, but then if I use the maps function as a sat nav it starts playing the downloaded songs in Apple Music!! So then I switch it back to radio until the next instruction from my maps is said and it starts playing the songs AGAIN!!!! 😡 it just seems to be a circular thing of me switching back to radio every time there is an instruction from the sat nav. I have tried: turning off mobile data for it - still happens (think this is because the music is downloaded) turning car play off in settings - the whole phone then won’t work. deselecting auto play when the song is playing - doesn’t work. has anyone got a solution?!? I might have to delete Apple Music which I kinda don’t want to do but seems the less annoying option.
