Apple Music skipping

I remove all my music and reloaded with new itunes download and that did not fix the issue. Nor did the screen lock. It also happened sooner in the playback like with into the first 2 mintutes. Oddly it lasts for a minute or so then goes away.

I have been experiencing the same music playback issue too. I took my phone into the Apple Store and they even replaced my phone but it has just happened again. This is extremely frustrating, sort it out Apple!

Same issue over here, and it is getting really annoying. Hopefully Apple will come out with a fix soon as 11.3.1 did nothing. I have two iPhone 7, one of 128 and the other of 32, and only the 128 is affected.

Delete and reinstall music app? Are you kidding me? What’s going on with your company? Your product used to be awesome. It’s gone straight to ****. I’m outta here. Getting a Galaxy. The iPhone, sadly, is now an unreliable, glitch-ridden mess.

This is not a satisfactory answer. The iOS is at fault, and Apple clearly doesn't know why and they can't fix it. Has anyone actually reset all these things and solved the problem? I don't see it. Its just the usual problem solving check list, not a fix. You need to fix the iOS.

As I mentioned before, this bug affected both my wife and me after updating our iPhone 6s's to 11.3, A subsequent upgrade to 11.3.1 did not help. My wife reset her phone to factory settings, and reloaded her music, podcast subscriptions, and other apps from scratch (not from a backup). The glitching did go away for her. It's now two weeks later, and the glitching problem is still fixed.

I'd do this, but I have a lot of texts that I can't lose for work reasons. I'm planning on waiting until 11.4 comes out, at which time iMessages will be in the cloud, hopefully. That way I can reset my phone to factory settings without losing my texts.

For those of you who erased your iPhones and still had the audio glitching problem, did any of you restore to factory settings and set up your phone from scratch? Or did you restore from a backup?

Hello jeffs55,

I too am having this issue where very randomly music will start to glitch, skip, a malfunction in the middle of the plane. This has never been a problem for on my iPhone 7+. Shouldn’t there be an easier fix for this?

Thank you.

Having the same issue - hope Apple fix it in their latest update. Also had a new battery fitted by Apple recently and it happens for me in the following instances:

- streaming music (via podcasts - Apple app)

- steaming music (via other apps such as amazon music)

- downloaded music.

Downloaded podcasts

Have re loaded music and programmes and problem persists. Also have restarted,...

It does not happen during films.

Please advise fix

Are you nuts? Deleting music app so I get to manually go through my music again to curate it and redownload specific tracks?

I noticed that the audio skipping does not happen when using bluetooth headphones. What a great coincidence that Apple is selling Airpods.

Come back with a better reply you clowns.

You can think that if you like, but the rest of us have verified that this problem is replicated across all speaker modes (multiple wired headphones, bluetooth headphones, bluetooth speakers, built in speaker, etc.).

Remember everyone: Please report this to Apple. Posting here doesn't suffice.

Update: I find that the problem can re-appear if I interact with the lock screen. Also if I switch from audio book to podcast app. It seems that anything that restarts the playback system can trigger the problem. But the maneuver above (pause and wait 10 seconds) always clears the problem for me.

Sorry but I only use apple headphones and it happens all the time. And it happens with any kind of musical audio (iTunes, Spotify, Mixcloud, etc.). I'm listening then it sounds like my music is being pulled along a zipper. It's SOOOO annoying.

I’m also getting the same problem. Happens with any song about 10 seconds after the phone is locked. Doesn’t matter what headphones I’m using or phone speaker itself. Will consider cancelling my subscription and going to Spotify if it isn’t solved as it’s really annoying! Tried resetting, closing/opening app, redoenloading tracks, nothing works. Might delete app next but don’t count on me reloading it!

Have had this issue for months since some early version of iOS 11. Happy to report seeing positive results from iOS 11.4 beta 5. Haven’t had any glitches for a few days.

Recently reported several detailed reports of issue in beta program so can’t but help think I somehow helped get this finally addressed...

You’re welcome ;). Hope it helps others too. Good luck.
