Issues with Apple Music app in iOS 26 on iPhone 16 Pro

There are problems with the Apple Music app in the new iOS26 operating system.

1. I have several Playlists arranged in Playlist Folders. When I open the app, all the folders are expanded. If I delete songs from a Playlist, all of the folders collapse. If I add songs to a playlist, all of the folders expand.

2. Choosing to show are hide the status bar doesn’t make any difference.

3. When I select more than one song, I can no longer see the total length of the songs.

I am having an issue with it simply pausing about every 60 seconds while streaming music. Almost like the phone is entering sleep mode or something. I updated to 26.1 a week ago, but this pausing started just this past Saturday. And I stream Apple Music in the car daily and often while at work, with no issue usually. So it's not the car radio, or bad reception, or any other logical symptom.

The Music app in 26 is totally screwed up! There is a long list of problems and apparently no interest in fixing them.
