Apple Music skipping

Same here, I am using an iPhone SE. Had hoped the more recent iOS11.4 would fix this bug but alas no.

@apple, Can we please have a bugfix earlier than iOS12 so we can all enjoy our music over the summer?

I have most of these issues too. Very frustrating.

Another issue that I haven't seen anyone on this thread mention is that when you unplug the headphones from the jack the music keeps playing for a fraction of a second - very embarrassing if you are in the office...

Me too! like to listen to podcasts when I walk my dog in the mornings and as of recently the phone will just randomly skip to the next episode or skip through whatever remaining episodes are queued up to play and it can make it through before I can wrestle it out of my running belt. OR it will just pause everything out of no where completely unprompted. So I’ll then have to get it out and press play to get it started again or to try to stop it from shuffling through episodes anywhere from 5-15 times during a 30-45 walk! Plus.. I feel like my phone is always hot now??

I have the same problem with my iPhone 7 Plus when using Spotify and also Apple Music with songs from my library which were transferred to the phone. Will soon move backwards and take my old iPod to listen to Music.

I’m having the exact same issue on my iPhone 6 on iOS 11.4! Music playing from the music app skips, glitches, pauses, plays weird electronic buzzing sounds whether I’m playing through Apple Music or installed music...I can’t even get through a single song without it stuffing up! So sick of Apple software not working for me 😭 🏼♀ At least emojis still work I guess...for now...

Exact same here on iPhone 6 since weeks, I’m about to switch to Android If you don’t finally fix this in an update. I want to listen to the music I paid for and have a phone that is able to play audio properly!

Mine is doing exactly the same!

I have iPhone 6 plus on iOS 11.4.

It happens to me on wireless headphones, wired headphones, Apple music, Podcast applications, everything. I spoke with Apple support and they told me to backup to iTunes, not exactly helpful is it!

I cant help but wonder that apple have decided that since they've been found out about slowing phones down for older models. That they're now making iOS really buggy for users who use older phones.

SORT IT OUT APPLE!

Morning to all those suffering from this freaking problem. Can Apple put up a hotline with psychologist help for us at least? Therapy courses or something? Feels like it never ends and we'll have to just live with it 🙂 Does someone lead the counting how many days have past since that happened to us, folks?

Been rehearsing with my band recently using tempo app for a click (metronome), and that b**** glitched as much as it could. You can't rely on apple devices if you're musician. That's disgrace!

Having same issues - an overnight update to 11.4 on Tuesday has caused all my Podcast playbacks to go crazy, with Siri interupting (phoning random contacts), podcasts playing when I am on the phone. The audio is basically now a mess. This needs an urgent fix and from the post this has been going on since March. This really is a major issue. I have a long commute and rely on the phone to help get me through it. Please prioritise a fix ASAP.

I’m having the exact issue that I never had before updating. It’s nit the music itself, because the glitching moves, and isn’t in the same place when you play it again... force restarting doesn’t help, it still happens just in a different song. Deleting music won’t solve issue, because it’s not the songs themselves but an issue with the software’s playback of it. It’s very true that before Mr. Jobs past away, you didn’t have issues like these, as he wouldn’t have released software until it was right... I suggest that Apple fixes the issue with the software and soon, otherwise their brand will get tarnished and they will lose longtime customers. 😘

I’m having the same issue with my 6. Is there a fix for this yet or is Apple going to play it like other issues and deny they exist? There’s no reason that a company as big and successful as Apple should continuously release updates with bugs. Some times it seems like the updates cause more issues than they fix.

I gave up. I did a restore and it worked. I’m really disappointed in Apple. Not only it took half a day to do but I now have to reconfigure all my Touch ID apps. At least the problem is solved now.

How hard would it be for Apple to just give an update on the issue? :(

My workaround with CarPlay is setting it so it is NOT allowed while locked. This will require your phone to be unlocked when you connect. This plus NOT using Bluetooth pairing seems to minimize the worst of the issue but I still get occasional skipping—just no longer the garbled distorted music as before.

I have an iPhone 8 and running iOS 11.4. I’m having the same problems. I thought it was the speaker issues, but my family’s iPhones have no issues playing on the same speakers. Only way I can get around it is to disconnect and reconnect but that’s not ideal.

And yes, this happened after I upgraded the iOS software.
