iOS 18 bug in Apple Music app

Guys I figured out the issue. As soon as I turned off vocal shortcuts the bug stopped.

Then that IS a bug. It SHOULDNT matter if you have vocal shortcuts on or not. It should work fine regardless.

I have a similar issue after updating to iOS 18 song won’t play at all in Apple Music will toggle to pause by itself I noticed if you pick around 20 seconds into the song it will play, but if it goes to the next song it goes crazy and starts skipping sometimes it will pick a song and will play. I noticed someone said turn off vocal shortcuts but after checking setting I don’t even have it setup. Need fix tried swiping out and restarting phone

Is there an update with iOS 18 apple connection bugs? My music stops playing every time I pick up the phone or put it in my pocket. Also CarPlay is basically unusable as the music shifts from a notification/prompt volume to full volume depending if I pick my phone up. Its also is getting hot when playing music , also when I have my iPad near my phone and I’m listening to something on my iPad and a notification pops on the phone it automatically disconnects everything I have playing .So basically Apple Music is unusable !

Since I downloaded the new iOS 18 the day before yesterday, my storage has been reaching maximum capacity and the battery is draining super fast. Normally, with 4 hours of use, it would go down to 80%, but yesterday it went down to 40%. So, I started deleting WhatsApp conversations, deleted some apps, and started deleting songs when it gave me the alert. I ended up deleting +100 downloaded songs, and a few hours later, it told me again that my phone was full.

It turns out that the music is downloading automatically (had 250 songs in queue), even though I wasn't asking to download any songs and I have automatic downloads turned off in Settings. I turned off the cellular data option to stop it from downloading music, and I had to turn off Wi-Fi because otherwise, it would be downloading music automatically even though I have the option turned off and it's constantly telling me that my phone is at full capacity.

Anyone else with this problem?

It’s not a problem with a bug its just vocal shortcuts using your microphone

For me it’s not only that the music pauses, but my phone reaches a very hot temperature for some reason and my headphones disconnect sometimes

I spoke with Tech Support on Sat - well first they said it wasn't a tech support problem but a Music subscription problem and transferred me, and I was like, "uh....no it has nothing to do with subscriptions! It's all related to ios 18!" - the person at Subscriptions transferred me back to tech support and they admitted it's an ios 18 flaw and hopefully there will be an update released this week to fix everything...if that's believable! Hahaha!

Hi!

Since i installed IOs 18 , there are so many bug on App Music.

I have my own mp3 library (more than 70 000 mp3)

I crated before playlist by genre

So i hav big playlist which contains a lot of mp3

When i play a playlist by random play , the app crash i few seconds (average 20) after the play is started.

Another bug : when i listen a music and i want to add it on a playlist directly on the Music App : sometimes the app crash and sometimes the add responses arrive 40 seconds later ... It's not directly like before.

So now my experience to listen my own music on my iphone is so terrible! I hope you will correct this ...

Just updated to iOS 18.0.1 thinking all the Music app problems everyone and myself

have been experiencing since updating to 18 (huge download lag times, playlist

add timeouts, playing/forwarded songs taking forever) would solve all our

issues, and it didn't fix anything!!! What is going on?!

For me it’s terrible lag and time out when trying to down load songs and/or add songs to playlists. Like it won’t even hardly work. Was just fine before the update = perfect and fast. Something is seriously jacked with the music app since ios 18!

Nah fr im having the problems to with Apple music

I still have this issue on iOS 18.0.1, and I don't have any vocal shortcuts enabled. I don't have any VPNs either.

This worked for me too. Settings, Accessibility, Vocal Shortcuts - Turn off. I restarted my iPhone twice to get the "off" setting to stick. Issues with Apple Music and Pandora on Apple Car Play ios 18 resolved.

After updating to iOS 18 I’m unable to download any music from iTunes. Soon after the iTunes starts to sync with my iPhone it crashes. I made sure the vocal shortcuts was off so that was not a fix for me either
