How to Prevent Apple Music from Auto-launching when Bluetooth Headphones are Connected?

The only way I can find that works and doesn’t remove your music forever is to go to settings, general and iPhone storage. Select the music app and then select offload app. If you wanna reconnect the app again it’s as simple as downloading it again and all your music is still there. No other apps connect to my ear buds when I have them in…..at least not so far.

Yes, and it’s driving me INSANE. Every time I try to listen to something on an app, say Audible, or a Facebook live event, it stops after a few seconds and launches iTunes. I don’t have iTunes playing on my phone, so it doesn’t make SENSE to me that it would automatically launch just because I’ve activated something on Bluetooth. I get so angry when this happens because it MAKES NO SENSE, and it’s NOT something I asked for. Apple needs to wake up. I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates this “feature”

Oh, my sweet summer child, if it were only that easy.

Apple music and Apple Music app are long gone with only Spotify remaining.

It's an iOS bug.

And I've tried the Bluetooth settings of changing my Ford SYNC connection to a different device type. Tried all of the types. No joy.

Have you tried my suggestion above? I'd test it myself but I don't have any Bluetooth headphones.

I don't have a Mac and would like to see the issue go away in my vehicle.

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome. 🙂

Brilliant, thank you :)

yep, like i said

how can I use noTunes on iPad or iPhone?

Oh my god, this works perfectly! not only does it prevent the dreaded iTunes from opening, I've now set it to open Spotify when I activate my earbuds. What?! Fantastic.

what works perfectly?

You are the man!!! After days of google'ing this annoying "feature" this is the only option that has worked. Thank you. Why does Apple not fix this?!?!?!
