Music skipping on iPhone

Exactly the same. It’s any app that plays audio. Even jitters through the iphones speaker. I will try deleting apps and reinstalling but I don’t think that’s the issue.

My workaround is still working after a month or so. Don’t let the screen go into lock. You can alter this in settings. It’s killing the battery but it works.

I’ve done this repeatedly as well as all the other suggestions, nothing has resolved the issue, including the latest update. Coincidentally, my downloaded music isn’t affected as much, as he songs I purchased directly from Apple. Roughly 80/20%. I heard they were phasing out downloads entirely and were solely go to the paid Apple Music service. Their refusal to acknowledge or fix this problem would confirm the rumors

I have a 6s+ have had the same issue ever since the upgrade. I went as far as to remove every app out of my phone thinking maybe that was the problem I also tried disabling Bluetooth and changing to a different Bluetooth headset. I also have an issue where when in Bluetooth mode and on a phone call the other person will slow way down and they say i speed up like a chipmunk, or the call gets very robotic sounding, the only fix to that is to switch from the bluetooth to the phone and back again. The skipping etc happens on all my music no matter if I’m playing iTunes Store, Pandora, Amazon Music, etc. I went over this with Verizon tech-support and Apple tech-support they went so far as to send me a Refurbished phone which I mailed mine back I was happy thinking the problem with solved only to have it happen again. I don’t know what to do it’s very frustrating I am a music person I listen to music every day all day and I cannot now without the skipping and scraping sounds that is one of the main reasons why I even have an Apple iphone.

You have to turn on your cellular assist. It prompted me after skipping songs over and over. You go under cellular and toogle your music to allow cellular service to run your iTunes when not on WiFi. I bet it always works on WiFi. So go to cellular under settings and turn on cellular on music. Cheers

I don't specifically see a "Cellular Assist" though Cellular Data (Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data > Podcasts, Music, etc) is already ON. Not a solution for me, unfortunately.

There is a Wi-Fi Assist (Settings > Cellular > Wi-Fi Assist). Perhaps turning this OFF might help? I think I will give that a try...

Same here. Started minutes after the update. Music playback is so bad it’s worthless... please help!!

Same here. Super annoying. Glad(?) it’s not just happening only to my iPhone 7+. Hope it’s not a scam to move users to iPhone 8/X. Please issue a fix ASAP, Apple!

I'm not crazy then! It also happens on my iPhone 6s. Has anyone reported it to Apple?

Yes, I reported this problem through product feedback (

https://www.apple.com/feedback/). I don’t expect Apple to provide any feedback to me in return, but if they do, I’ll post back.

This happens for me too, Apple Music app, Tidal, Audible. It's super annoying and started immediately after 11.3 update.

Exact same issue for me. Just updated to 11.3 yesterday, skipping non stop today.

Same, it's also happening to me during phone calls. I also have a 6S, rebooting didn't work for me either. Super annoying.

Has anyone reported it?

I’ve been having the same issue on iPhone 7. I’ve reported it to Apple as well.
