Music on iPhone keeps pausing by itself

I'm having this issue on an iPhone 7 with iOS 10.1.1. It happens with music and podcasts, via bluetooth headphones (multiple brands) and over CarPlay. When in airplane mode it doesn't happen at all, so agree that it's network related. Based on some of the beta issues, I turned off "Hey Siri" but the problem still occurs. Has anyone come up with a solution? Is there someone at Apple who could review my logs for additional PD?

Hey... I had the same problem and my music had no sound and was skipping randomly even thou it wasn't on shuffle... I signed in and out of iTunes.. didn't fix it.... I then reset network settings under settings-general-reset network settings... fixed!!!

There may be dirt or water in the headphone jack, when youre using your headphones is would usually work but if there is some stuff in there, itll block your music. you might see that on your lock screen the part where it shows you what your listening on like "this i phone" or "headphones" or whatever, youll see that when it pauses itll go from headphones to i phone, but when you press play again itll go back to headphones. You can fix this by going to your local electronics store and ask them to blow the headphone jack with compressed air, thats how i fixed my phone, it literally takes 20 seconds, or if you have one at home i guess you can do that too. Hope this helped

I have a 6s and it’s two weeks old my phones been doing it today it was updated last night I hope the glitch is sorted otherwise I’ll be going back to Samsung as I have had iPhone for the past five years with no problems now I have had this happen when I listen to my music a lot it doesn’t help matters.

I did notice since I had a prepaid giftcard in my case hidden and that made it skip so mostly for people who use the pockets on the back of their phones for cards this can interfere with your phone such as your music.... I understand this won’t work with everyone sometimes it’s a bug that goes further to assistance but this is what I found out from experience... hope this was helpful for some

I’m definitely not a techie and have the same problem as you did, I read your solution and don’t understand how to check ‘logs’? Could you tell me how to do that please, and how to uninstall the apps?

Same problem with or without headphones. At first I thought it was the earpods.

So I started playing it via the speaker. Same result.

Try some different headphones. Does the problem persist?

pasadenaMAC, thanks for this. I had the same apps installed on my phone and ran into the same problems. Helpful, thanks!

How do you check your log?

Incorrect, I have the same problem on Bluetooth headset

I'm having the exact same problem. My videos will also pause themselves as well. Happens when phone connected to car via Bluetooth as well. Very annoying. Never had the problem with iPhone 6.

I've narrowed this down to something tied to the cell network. I don't have the issue in airplane mode with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on, but as soon as I turn the cellular back on it pauses.

Turning off "hey Siri" has stopped my music from randomly pausing

Where do you find the diagnostic log.

And how to you delete something that is not an app?

Thanks
