Is anyone else having issues with gapless playback on iOS 16.2 (I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max, if that's relevant). Every couple of songs in a gapless album, I'll get a moment of silence between tracks that's really annoying when the songs are supposed to flow smoothly into each other.
The issue was in 15.4 and also a few years back, so it's annoying that it keeps coming back.

I had this issue before back on iOS 15 and had a phone call with the Apple Support. He told me to disable Dolby Atmos in Settings>Music>Audio because with Bluetooth the Apple Music App tries to check Dolby Atmos support for every title played. Since my bluetoth devices do not support Dolby Atmos, I’ve disabled it. The gaps have been better after that, and they were gone completely after the next iOS update.
So now with iOS 16.3 they are gone again, and I keep Dolby Atmos disabled 😉 I have no gaps anymore since updating to iOS 16.3 yesterday.
Maybe you could give it a try.
This darn bug regressed with the upgrade from 16.3 to 16.4. It reappeared.
Hi sorry for the late reply. I just sent you a WhatsApp text.
Aaargh!
Thanks for the info: I’ll hold back from updating then, for the moment.
yep, same misery as before. When are they stopping this nonsense!!!! ****** development department! Please fix it
I have to take off “automatic updates” as a result
how do you turn on gapless playback on apple music 😭
Can anyone confirm if gapless playback is working in 16.5? I'm paranoid with every update now.
Yes. I was trying to enjoy Dark Side of the Moon in Dolby Atmos and the gap between songs ruined it. Shameful.
The problem is back in iOS 16.5
Is there a newer up to date thread than this one?
I’m seriously looking at this new Google phone. Anyone know if that has issues with gapless playback?
