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

Guys I figured out the issue. As soon as I turned off vocal shortcuts the bug stopped.

My issue on my i pad mini since upgrading to 18.0.1 is that when I try to to play or shuffle my play lists for music that I have downloaded it says I need to be connected to wifi. The reason I added all my downloaded tracks to the i pad was so that I didn't have to connect t wifi.


Is this type of thing typical with apple updates ? Does anyone know how to resolve this ?

After running the music app for a couple of days after the iOS 18.1 update, I haven't noticed the app freezing or crashing, or jumping back to 10 seconds before the end of the song. Seems to run pretty good, though in rare cases the song title and artwork doesn't update immediately after changing to the next song, but it's still running for now!

I synced my ipad today and lost all of my playlists. I too was also experiencing music cut outs on my iphone. I was also experiencing random cut outs when I was playing an album. God forbid a notification popped up or you touch the iphone.


I found a suggestion to delete the music and app and then reinstall and that failed miserably.
