iPhone randomly starts playing music

At least once per day, my iPhone 6 randomly starts playing music even when no music apps are active. This is very disruptive. No headphones are attached, but I do have an iWatch that communicates with the iPhone. I believe the culprit is Pandora. Any advice would be much appreciated.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.1

Hello Harry,

Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems you are having issues with music playing unexpectedly. Since you mention the Pandora app maybe causing this issue, please force close the Pandora app and then restart your iPhone as the shut down and start up process is important to keep the iOS software running properly.

Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Cheers!
