Has anyone experienced issues with Apple Music in iOS 18? For example, audio quality lowered despite Dolby Atmos and EQ off? Or trying to scroll through your playlist and the app crashes?

iPhone 15, iOS 18
Hey all iOS 18.0.1 is out and it fixed some issue regarding
Performance Enhancements
Some iPhone models experienced performance issues due to memory allocation problems. The update addresses these issues, improving performance and stability across various devices.
Fixed slow downs and crashes for me.
I did and did not solve my problems with Album Artwork using AirPlay or the degradation in Audio quality of every song when using CarPlay.
AirPlay Album Artwork and CarPlay Audio quality also negatively affected with i.OSV 18
Inferior QUALITY of Video and Audio post v i.OS v18 for BOTH AIRPLAY and CARPLAY. Appears Apple is cutting corners on streaming resources.
There is a noticeable deterioration in Audio Quality and SIZE of Album Artwork since i.OSv18.
You’re very patient to go through a four day period of showing them what we’re experiencing with this app! Would you be okay with letting us know what they tell you? I personally hope they roll out a software update including bugs with Apple Music.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put the ticket in regarding this matter! Whenever I search for any information regarding this bug, nothing shows up besides this discussion. It’s interesting we’re some of the few people experiencing this.
Same here I’ve been talking to a senior advisor who keeps having to get back to me on a different day to send all my evidence of the issue to a higher up to investigate cause the senior advisor cannot figure it out. So I guess Tuesday I will get another follow up update. But who knows, if they don’t fix it a bunch of people are gonna be switching to Spotify or something similar that actually works.

I don’t use apple music paid service as all music help locally but i noticed after signing into to my apple ID all my locally created playlist had gone. I synced up via iTunes and as soon as I signed back into apple they got deleted.
Hoping Apple reads this thread to see all the issues occurring.. I saw a reply stating they were working on an update for Apple Music this week but I’m not sure if it was deleted or not. You have listed the same issues I have had with Apple Music but I didn’t hear about the passwords and battery life issues… this is crazy.
I had one today but they called me just to tell me the higher ups said they didn’t get my logs of evidence that I had sent, so the advisor has to resend them and now I have to wait on yet another call from them on Thursday. They still are not acknowledging this is a known issue, they are still saying nobody else has reported these issues but I think they are lying.
If my advisor calls me, I’ll link this thread as proof so they know people are reporting the issues and that there is discussion about it! Seeing everyone have problems with Apple Music and the type of issue is really frustrating since these issues never occurred until iOS 18.
I went to the Apple Store for something unrelated yesterday. I was talking to one of support staff about this issue. He said he was having similar issues to the rest of us. He also said he was now on the beta version and he hasn’t noticed any issues. I’ve never downloaded a beta version, but am contemplating it.
My advisor called me yesterday and I had to redo all my screen recordings yet again cause he has me do it everytime he calls and then he said the higher ups didn’t get my logs I sent from diagnostics and went to check and for some reason my diagnostic test won’t finish sending the logs, it stops at 99% sent and won’t go any further so my advisor is telling the higher ups that and has to call me back Tuesday. It’s getting pretty frustrating that it’s just repeated phone calls and no progress, I’m having to plan my days around when they are calling to make sure I’m home just to be told they will have to call me back. I know they are trying to help and that may take time but sometimes I feel they are just giving me the run around. I will post again after they call me Tuesday I guess to let everyone know what they said. I will mention this thread to them and see if I can send them the link to it.
I’m so sorry you’re having to go through all of this.. they should have caught the issue and stayed on the phone to ensure the recordings went through since there’s going to be claims no one is reporting the issue. My advisor never called back so I can only assume they the recordings I gave was enough for them to look into it. Hoping this issue is resolved very soon.
I’ve also noticed that my phone keeps disconnecting from my watch, which is annoying as I have to check my phone to see if notifications are important rather than it flashing up on my screen (except text messages, they’ve never appeared). It usually reconnects straight away when I go into settings on my watch, but this last time I’ve tried five or six times and still no luck.
