iOS 18 bug in Apple Music app

after updating to ios18 i have encountered a bug when using apple music. Whenever the phone opens or closes or when the screen turns on due to a notification, the music pauses for a good 3-5 secs and same when screen goes back to sleep. Also when playing music using apple carplay, when i use my phone or when the screen turns on the same delay is there and the music sound deteriorates badly. The sound is completely off and i can’t listen properly unless the phone is put back to sleep. I need apple to release a bug update soon or any solutions as i can’t use my phone like this

This worked for me too. Settings, Accessibility, Vocal Shortcuts - Turn off. I restarted my iPhone twice to get the "off" setting to stick. Issues with Apple Music and Pandora on Apple Car Play ios 18 resolved.

I contacted Apple support, and they advised me to reset all settings, which I did. Unfortunately, the issue still persists as you described. We're definitely losing our subscription money due to a problem we've never encountered before. I hope they release an update to fix this soon. I encourage everyone to reach out to Apple support and report any issues as they arise; this will help prioritize their fixing efforts.

Is there an update with iOS 18 apple connection bugs? My music stops playing every time I pick up the phone or put it in my pocket. Also CarPlay is basically unusable as the music shifts from a notification/prompt volume to full volume depending if I pick my phone up. Its also is getting hot when playing music , also when I have my iPad near my phone and I’m listening to something on my iPad and a notification pops on the phone it automatically disconnects everything I have playing .So basically Apple Music is unusable !

Since I downloaded the new iOS 18 the day before yesterday, my storage has been reaching maximum capacity and the battery is draining super fast. Normally, with 4 hours of use, it would go down to 80%, but yesterday it went down to 40%. So, I started deleting WhatsApp conversations, deleted some apps, and started deleting songs when it gave me the alert. I ended up deleting +100 downloaded songs, and a few hours later, it told me again that my phone was full.


It turns out that the music is downloading automatically (had 250 songs in queue), even though I wasn't asking to download any songs and I have automatic downloads turned off in Settings. I turned off the cellular data option to stop it from downloading music, and I had to turn off Wi-Fi because otherwise, it would be downloading music automatically even though I have the option turned off and it's constantly telling me that my phone is at full capacity.


Anyone else with this problem?

Hi!

Since i installed IOs 18 , there are so many bug on App Music.

I have my own mp3 library (more than 70 000 mp3)

I crated before playlist by genre

So i hav big playlist which contains a lot of mp3

When i play a playlist by random play , the app crash i few seconds (average 20) after the play is started.

Another bug : when i listen a music and i want to add it on a playlist directly on the Music App : sometimes the app crash and sometimes the add responses arrive 40 seconds later ... It's not directly like before.


So now my experience to listen my own music on my iphone is so terrible! I hope you will correct this ...
