Iphone 6: music starts playing by itself

Are you going to answer these guys' question? Or are you not done patting yourself on the back for your last attempt which was clearly not helpful... This same thing happens to my girlfriend while we are on the phone. Thanks ahead of time for your timely response

I Have a 6 plus and a 5s connected to the same blue tooth head set. After disconnecting from a call on the 5s, the 6plus will start playing music on its own. I have no music on the phone at all. It's playing sample music that is either streaming or its downloading on its own. Happens about 15 times a day. Only way to make it shut off is to shut off blue tooth headset and turn it back on.

So, this problem has happened to me a couple of times lately. I have an iPhone 6 plus. The iOS is current. I have the phone set up to work with a Bluetooth headset for work like ImKev above (the headset is also used for Business Skype calls, which is how I use it 95% of the time). I hung up from a Skype call today, and it immediately started playing one of my songs (stored on the iPhone) from the beginning very loudly - really hurt my ears. It has nothing to do with my charger, I did not have any ear buds plugged in, and only a few apps were open (and certainly none that have any linkage to the Music app), so the suggestions above are not my issue. This really has to be a software issue. Apple, while not the worst thing that could happen, it's certainly an annoyance and a bad user experience.

My music starts playing when I plug the phone into my charger/usb port on my Subaru stereo. The music app is not open. I have to open it and hit the pause, then close the app. I start listening to an MP3 attachment in an email, and after a minute it stops and the music app starts playing again, same song every time. Very annoying. If I'm listening to a podcast, it works okay, in that the music doesn't stop the podcast. But when I listen to the mp3 attachment in the email, it stops that app and plays music.

Can someone please answer this question????

This is a MAJOR flaw with iPhone software. It has now happened on two different version of the iPhone with multiple software updates. It's great to get new emojis, but fixing major operating issues such as this would be better.

Mine most often occurs when I am connected to my car's bluetooth in order to listen to GPS directions.....a song I have bought from iTunes or a podcast I have downloaded starts playing. (usually, Broken Bells "After the Disco," but sometimes Michael Jackson "ABC," both good songs and both of which I have heard the first 30 seconds of WAY TOO OFTEN).

As someone else on this forum noted, there is nothing that apparently can be done. All apps are closed. I even signed myself out of the "Music" app.

The only solace provided in this forum is that it's not just happening to me.

thanks for any help.

II'll add one more hitch to this issue:

my phone plays by itself as with all of yours, but it does it Bluetooth to my car as well. Nothing is plugged into the phone - no power, no headphones!

this happens BOTH when the books app is running in the background as well as when it is not. The issue continues in the new ios10 too!

even crazier, when my car's radio is turned off, the phone plays the book silently. I find it constantly having played 10 minutes that I have to scroll back. I have to stop it sometimes 6-8 times on a single car ride. This is causing me to have to take my eyes off the road. This issue is dangerous and needs to find its way to the front burner before someone gets into an accident. I can't have this thing playing books at random when I have clients in my car!!!!!!!!

My iPhone 6 did this last night twice, at 1AM and at 2:48 AM, woke me up twice, the second time I couldn't turn it off, had to shut the phone down, not good! It comes on at full volume, first time music, second time it was a talk show. I notice when I press an app icon a different app will open, it's getting worse every day! It's just sitting, all by itself on a table but has a mind of its own.

This was my problem and had to get the ear buds replaced with Bose.

Not so much a reply as a confirmation this happens to me...perhaps once every 3 days..with phone (SE) sitting on the table and the screen blank....either Siri wakes up and says she/he cant answer the questioned (that was not asked) or an arbitrary phone call is made...or music happens....

Not getting an Apple answer is as annoying as the phone acting up

same problem here.

that is not the answer? Apple please respond with a truth ful answer

Same situation here, with iPhone 6. Happens randomly whether any apps or zero apps are running. Earbuds have nothing to do with it. Untouched phone will start playing randomly through the speaker. Apple, don't you have enough posts here to take this seriously? What will it take?

It happens to me when I'm listening to a video -- on Facebook, for example -- then the video ends. Music sometimes starts if I don't close the video right away. When I try to close the music, I find that I have NO apps open -- not even one. So I have to physically open Music, then turn off the music. It's driving me crazy!! I have an iPhone 6 s Plus and it didn't start to do this until I completed the update to iOS10. What the heck is going on, Apple??!

My wife and I have the same issue on our 6 plusses. No apps open in the background when it occurs.

Interesting that Apple has no reply...

Same issue here.

Started for me with the upgrade to I OS 10

No apps open not connected to charger, no headphones and iPad is locked with a cover on in sleep mode and when I go to turn it on music is playing. It's draining my battery also

What's the solution to get this to stop happening

Apple please respond
