Why does my Music start playing automatically when I plug in my headphones?


this is very annoying. Just because I plug in my headphones doesn’t mean I want to listen to music right now. How do I get it to stop?

Me too. This is crazy. I’ve Googled this to the Nth degree and every solution suggests something my iPhone does not have. Auto play, up next, 3 dots and lines, nothing exists like they describe. And I’ve done a page by page in all the settings. Nothing obvious jumps out.


I’m running the same iOS as you on a 13 Pro Max.


Please post if you found an answer or figured this out.
