My iPhone stops playing music when taking photos?!

Reported it, with great effort and back-and-forth (read the earlier posts in this topic), multiple times. Provided video of the issue. many calls, many emails, many reports sent.

I am wondering if Apple is just planning to fix it for iPhone 7 and have no plans to fix it for 6s. Which would be truly unforgivable.

Meh, that'd be a very unsatisfactorily situation =/

Maybe my English was too bad: I thought everyone with this issue should report the bug. I can't believe Apple would ignore 174 (the number of people having the same issue, mentioned by the initial post) bug reports for the same

issue.

I dont’t know if I’m allowed to post this, but in my bug report there was an answer today, telling me there isn't any new information available for this issue. The person has checked with engineering and the issue is still under investigation, and there is no resolution available yet. THIS is frustrating. I mean, this issue exists since the iPgone 6S’ release! But now I start to repeat myself …

At this point I guess, Liese Schwarz is right:

👿 Is this is so ridiculous I mean Tim should be all over this and in the days of Steve Jobs somebody would've got fired over this seriously this is such a ridiculous bug because you can use your phone to take pictures and listen to music at the same time in the messages app but you cannot do it on any other place on ip6s!! Try it!!!! huge bug absolutely an enourmous bug and I would kick somebody's butt over this if I was working at Apple! Get it together i mean dont make people think its a hardware issue Apple!!! And dont allow sloppy code to degrade the brand and get coders lazy over there. Im lol at this everyday its an outrage !!!!😮 😁

Now, you guys all enjoy alphawavs work-around to •somebody• (you know who you are!) @ Apple very lazy coding :

while you're listening to music go to messages and take a photo from there !

Hopefully somebody that's closer to Tim and Eddie than me can put this persistent bug right in front of their faces!!

But nobody bother Jon Ivy he's busy with iWatch , plenty busy

Thanks, Apple, for being so slow and ridiculous and damaging the iPod / iMusic experience .....

Well I'll be darned. Sure enough as you said, you can take a photo in imessage, and the audio does not stop. I also tried the camera in Lightroom mobile, and the audio continues to play. The disadvantage to either of these is that you don't have the quick launch option as with the native camera.

This problem came about when they added the "Live" photo option. I turned it off first thing. Neither I, nor anyone I know, use this function.

ARRRGGHHHH! I just posted a question on Ars asking if they finally fixed this. I just don't get it. Maybe they're too busy to read the forums? Maybe some energy and resources from the watch might be directed back to the iPhone?

Thanks for the heads up.

I am so irritated. Called Apple AGAIN about this. Got yet another "Senior Advisor" -- this one simply COULD NOT UNDERSTAND what I was saying (although I have described it exquisitely clearly in writing multiple times in previous reports, and she kept me on hold for like 20 min reading the previous notes). First she gave me the same old line I have heard before, about "an update coming TODAY will fix it!" and when it did NOT fix it and I called her back, she first said that I'll "have to wait for Apple to fix it" and then ended by saying that it must be a HARDWARE issue with my device and that I should get a replacement.

Yeah, right.

So disgusted.

THe situation is gonna get worse if someone confirms that the 5SE does not have this problem. If it doesnt. Then apple just screwed up the Flagship phone.

ITs not a matter of resources now. Its a matter of bad management. of iphones c-level team.

And im not upgrading ios. For sure until this issue is said and done and 60 ft under.

Furthermore, I can half confirm that the 5SE the " super cheapo " apple phone, does not have this issue

but cannot fully confirm until I actually test it just heard from someone who went to the event. Its sad that apple doesnt read these forums...

My apple senior advisor DID read this topic. while I was on the phone with him. Back in SEPTEMBER.

He told me then that the engineers had been made aware...and a fix would be in the works.

So disappointing.

I just went live and had to go out with a Tweet on this issue. all the way to the top , baby!

I think Apple has been very irresponsible both on the coding of Live Photos and the explanation of Live Photos .

They brought out a new feature without a) a proper explanation and, most importantly, b) the proper coding and "sliders" to turn it off and be able to have the camera functionality that the regular iphone 6 does. (i.e. be listening to music and be able to take photos without music shutting off!)

Shame on you, Apple. Its been way to long since the release date...

Done! Now the ridiculous wait begins... I love stumping "Geniuses" with this question when I have time on my travels. So far have brought it up in Pasadena, CA , Costa Mesa, DC store, and soon I will be going to the Palo Alto store with it. You guys should (if you have the time) take it to the local Genius at your store also...

My question at the end can never be answered by any Genius.

I always ask : "Are you guys moving backward in usability with the 6s?" The answer is a blank stare...

I dont get it!!

Hello,

Confirming this problem persists in the newly released iOS 9.3.1, as well as on iPhone SE.

Even with "Live Photos" turned off, music/audio mutes when accessing the Camera. This problem is not present within "in-app" Camera functions (i,e; Messages "Take a Photo") which leads me to believe this is a bug with Live Photos not truly being "off" despite the user selecting that option.

Reported to Apple as bug report #25510897

Thanks,

Sam

GREAT! All we can do now is keep presssuring because if not they will continually lie to us (one genius called it a "hardware limitation" and gasped when I showed him that you can listen to music and take a photo during imessage with no problems)

I just wish that the great company that is apple wasnt so darn dumb when it comes to things like this. I mean, this is something that Steve would have simply not allowed. And neither should any of todays management allow HUGE BUGS LIKE THIS! 😮
