My iPhone stops playing music when taking photos?!

I spent more than 6 hours at Genius bar, so I did everything to solve the problem. I have changed my iPhone 6s and I gave up my backup, reset to factory set up three times, but that didn't work.

don't do any change, that just natural physical error of iPhone 6s.

Apple has to fix that.

I'm fuming because of this bug or rather "feature" Apple implemented. What a ridiculous oversight that you can't even take a still photo with music playing. Every single time I turn on the camera app my music/radio/podcast stops and it DOESN'T play itself again. They pushed out a poorly executed, half-baked product and charged us a premium price. This is not an Apple quality product and if they don't fix this with the next patch I'm returning this POS and going back to my old phone.

"This is probably the dumbest complaint I've ever seen. Who is sitting around listening to music and taking photos at the same time? Jesus Christ, you people..."

Every time I see a ******** user like this it makes me want to cringe. Who says you have to be "sitting around" just to listen to music. Can't I be walking, running, jogging, commuting while listening to music?

Dont bother feeding the trolls in my opinion it's better to focus on productive uses of time :-)

Well latest news for me is my phone is now completely dead. I mean completely gone. ill need to call apple tomorrow. I'm probably just going to get a refund I think as this problem and the bug is starting to become a joke considering how expensive apple charges. i saw the Microsoft presentation tonight and the Lumia or nexus 5x may be what I'll get instead.

OK good news I got my phone working again AND I got to speak to a helpdesk rep in the USA I believe who told me they are fixing this issue in a coming update. So that's promising they're finally listening. Pretty bad they let this bug stay around so long!

Yeah, to be honest I was questioning making the switch. From the past two product outputs, it looks like they are slipping. My coworkers have been switching over to Microsoft products and laugh that I am still Apple loyal. Now with these bugs, I feel like the office dope. It's not Apple quality at all and that's what I paid for, an Apple quality product.

Even when I disable Live Photos Camera App and Spotify wont fit together. Very stupid behaviour.

Just wanted to add that I've noticed this happening a lot. I like to walk around a lot while listening to music and every once in a while I see something i want to take a picture of, so it's quite annoying. This also happens when you try to take pictures using Instagram. Someone here posted that they might be fixing this in a future update...let's hope this happens soon.

I had this same issue with iPhone 6s running iOS 9.0.2, and I fixed it!

I figured it might be Live Photo, so I did this

• Turned off Live Photo (by opening the camera and touching the yellow dot at the top, turning it white)
• RESTARTED the phone (by holding down the side right button and home button until screen black, let go, white apple comes up/phone restarts)

Now it works fine - can take photo while on phone, and opening camera while listening to podcast did not stop podcast playback. Hoping it continues to work.

It didn't work until after restarting the phone - just turning off Live Photo wasn't enough.

Nope, even restarting it that way didn't help me.

Guys, let's see what 9.0.3 will bring.

Yeah, it didn't work again the next time I tried. Boo!

Okay, UPDATE - it didn't work again the next time I tried - opening camera while playing podcast stopped playback.

Boo!

I just came across this issue: very annoying, especially because I always use the camera to take pictures while listening to music on headphones. So this is a major issue for me and I hope Apple will come with a bug fix (because IMO this is a bug) with the next iOS update. I don't want to consider that this is going to remain like this.

Keeping fingers crossed...

Same issue. Mine actually stops with Snapchat, but not via messaging. Please fix this issue.
