Music cuts off when hitting shuffle

Every time I press shuffle on the music app, the music cuts off for a split second. I tried restarting, disconnecting any headphones or bluetooth devices but it happens even through the iPhone’s speaker.

G'day txnyy,


Thanks for following up! Since this is only happening with Apple Music and you're on the latest iOS version, try deleting the Music app and then re-download it from the App Store: Delete built-in Apple apps from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support


Keep in mind that when you do this, any content downloaded for offline play will be deleted, so you'll need to re-download after you reinstall the app.


Best wishes.

Hello txnyy,


To clarify, are you saying that this happens when you toggle Shuffle to on/off while playing music? How to shuffle music on your iPhone - Apple Support

If you haven't yet, use the steps in this link to back up and update to the latest iOS version: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If that doesn't help, we also recommend isolating this by testing to see if it happens with streaming content, downloaded content, or both.


Let us know.


Take care.
