iOS 18 bug in Apple Music app

THANK YOU! I have been trying to figure this out for a week. Nobody else is mentioning this so far. Shutting off vocal shortcuts did the trick immediately. Cheers to you!

That’s great…but my vocal shortcuts were never turned on, so it’s not a total fix for everyone

I have a similar issue. I updated my iPhone to IOS 18 in iTunes. Immediately after the update iTunes lost contact with the phone. I no longer get the small icon in iTunes indicating the phone is connected. No matter what I do iTunes will not sync with my iPhone 11 running IOS 18.

my bug on the Apple Music after updating my Xr is my apple music library has disappeared and as if am not subscribed to a family plan(which i am).when i check settings i still have access to the family plan thus, Apple music etc but when i open the app it doesn’t show anymore

I had the same issue, I wanted a way to quickly turn on the flashlight. Thought it would be great to just say “Flashlight On”. But, then my music would stop for a brief moment every time I closed/opened the display. Now I just need to decide if this frequent disturbance is worth the benefit of vocal shortcuts.

Mine was eating up data and space all of the sudden. Noticed i had 3000+ songs downloading and when i cancelled they kept coming back til i turned the download over cell network off, and auto settings. Was never a issue til using ios18

I contacted Apple support, and they advised me to reset all settings, which I did. Unfortunately, the issue still persists as you described. We're definitely losing our subscription money due to a problem we've never encountered before. I hope they release an update to fix this soon. I encourage everyone to reach out to Apple support and report any issues as they arise; this will help prioritize their fixing efforts.

Just updated ios 18.1 and

probleme not solved ...

very long time to add a single mp3 file on a playlist . Even if i play next file mp3 on next button on random play shuffle . The name and sleeve cover doesnt appear.

Even if i look for a file on search with key word : before , if i typed "love" , all mp3 files with love word were diplayed . Now its' only 2 or 3 files.

Very deceived about ios18 ... They didnt thought that some people , sync all the music libraty mp3 files by itunes ....

Music App crash also when i play music....

Updated 18.0.1 too and same problems!!! We all need to flood Apple with tickets about this. I think the update was all about just addressing iphone 16 issues.....who needs Music, right? I like paying for bad app service!

Hi!

Does exist another music app on app store which we can listen out big library mp3 files?

The native music ios app contains a lot of bugs !

Thanks in advance

PS: where can we open a ticket on official Apple technicians to solve the probleme on app music since ios18 is released?

Good luck getting Apple to respond to any issues. Worst company ever. I was having the same issue, so I deleted the app and reinstalled it and lost 40k songs from my phone and I can't sync them back from my PC. Apple can GAGF

Nope, my Vocal Shortcuts ain’t even set up yet. Still experiencing the same thing as others have; skipping and random stops. I do sometimes get luck from cleaning RAM with the Device Monitor 2 app. I’m on an iPad 9th 64GB

I admit, it does take some massive amount of guts to release a such a sad, broken update to an app/OS, leaving it in a condition like this.

The jumping back to a previous song bug, then freezing is horrific and should have never made it past QA. What a gutsy thing to put in to an app that worked well before.

iPadOS and iOS were installed with vocal shortcuts off and has never been turned on, yet I have this problem which occurs with two non-Apple streaming devices and AirPod Pro's. The music just stops playing. If I close and open the Music app the music plays for a while before stopping again.

Has turning off vocal shortcuts not solved this problem for anyone?

My issue on my i pad mini since upgrading to 18.0.1 is that when I try to to play or shuffle my play lists for music that I have downloaded it says I need to be connected to wifi. The reason I added all my downloaded tracks to the i pad was so that I didn't have to connect t wifi.

Is this type of thing typical with apple updates ? Does anyone know how to resolve this ?
