Podcasts pausing when Google Maps is navigating

In CarPlay while using the Apple

podcast app and navigating with with Google Maps, podcasts pause after 5-10 seconds of playing. This has been happening consistently for the last 2 weeks. When I press play, the podcast plays for another 5-10 seconds then pausing. This continues until I close Google Maps. Voice directions have been disabled for Google Maps.

I have tried all methods described below on my iPhone 15 pro max and nothing works. This just started about a month ago, please fix as it’s super annoying.

None of these fixes worked for me : Here is the ACTUAL fix.

-Open google maps app in iPhone-

  • in the search bar, click on the pic of your face to get access to your Google account map settings
  • click the gear icon that says settings
  • Click the video settings
  • Toggle “Allow autoplay” off


Apparently google maps has videos that can autoplay? Totally random. Credit to J12a on Reddit for posting this solution on applehelp subreddit.

I have a solution that worked for me. I am not 100% sure which variable I changed was the fix.. but this is what I did


In the Google Maps settings…

1) turned off “Play voice over Bluetooth”

2) switched “music playback controls” to “none”

3) changed “mute state” to “muted”


And in the phone settings under Settings->Google Maps (just open settings and scroll down until you see the app)

1) toggled “microphone” off

2) toggled “media & Apple Music” off

3) went into “notifications” and toggled off “sounds” and “announce notifications”


I did not toggle camera off like the other comment but this worked 🤷🏻‍♂️
