Since iOS 8.4, my iPhone has been randomly skipping songs while they're playing. I've tried leaving the music app up on the screen, leaving it open in the background, etc. but nothing seems to work.
When I try to go to a certain point in a song, my phone will skip to the next song, also.
How could I fix these issues? Is it my phone or just the update? Thanks.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.4
I've the same unscientific result.
If I play music while connected to home WiFi, no skipping happens. Any other WiFi causes different skipping issues. Using celular data causes many songs skipping. If I go back to skipped song a "Not authorized" notice appears.
Not really sure, but I definitely suspect song copyrights and or device authorization are validate online before played and some sort of partial response causes the behavior, like "Yes, you bought THIS song and YES you have a the right to play it in this device, but this song file version is out of date, so lets replace it".
Just a thought.
Rreset your phone by holding down the Wake/Sleep and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears. Also check if you accidentally selected to play in the Shuffle mode.
I Have the same problem - started after ios 8.4 - really annoying cant even walk and listen as it shuffels mid songs all the time
Glad I found this thread, thought I was going mad!
Has yours been sorted?
This didn't help alas.
Alas not, but I have noticed that it seems to happen most often soon after rating a song.
Disabling Apple Music hasn't helped.
Based on unscientific observations, might also have something to do with phone switching from cellular to wifi signal.
TToday I have not had the problem but yesterday all the time
I have not been eating any songs
but it definitely shuffled when ever my phone bounced!
I've had the same problem with my iPhone for years, on several models.
Apple can not seem to fix the problem.
iPhone skipping songs on its own
