My iPhone stops playing music when taking photos?!

HI there...


My iPhone 6S seems to stop playing music both from iTunes or Spotify when I open the camera to take a photograph. I assumed there would be some obvious way to allow it to continue playing. It's a bit annoying to be honest! I just want to continue listening to my music whilst taking photogrsphs...


I can't find anything on the web... Or on here... Can't find anything on the phone... It didn't happen with my iPhone 5...


If anybody knows anything or has any idea if this is actually a design feature or just annoying I'd appreciate any advice!


Cheers! 🙂

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! 😮

Thanks for that. Still reporting on this HUGE Apple BUG that is persistent.


keep in mind, I can be on a phone call on speakerphone and take photos all day!!!!


but if I want to listen to music I cant take a darn photo! What a huge FAIL! Apple coding FAIL.


NO C-Level will answer about this and No major apple "news" website reports or pressures them on this.


SO we must be that 1%.


now you know. That Apple has horrible service On their broken devices and or features.


You better hope your in warranty, in return period, to be able to do something

Holy! This was the first thing i noted when i bought a ip6. in 2015, 18month ago!

and i said to myself **** off, they will fix it. i don't want to report every bug. im not part of apples quality assurance. i don't get money from apple. i pay every 1-2 years 800€ for a new device, that doesn't work as expected.

can't imagine we are the only one. how often we listen to music or podcast with headphones or a bluetooth box and want to take a picture?

i often think that apple developer don't use there own products.

btw. do you think apples accounting/management use numbers? 😁

Try to press the block button until the shutoff slide appears. After that,

press during some seconds the home button.


This is something I did yesterday and perhaps could be the solution...
