Why Does Apple Music Keep Pausing? Try These Fixes

Although Apple Music functions incredibly well on the iPhone, there are occasionally problems. On rare occasions, you could experience random audio pauses. This may occur whether you’re listening to music offline or while streaming audio.

Discover a few potential causes of Apple Music’s frequent pauses below, along with workarounds for the issue.

Force-Quit Apple Music App

For the most part, many small problems related to an application can be fixed by simply forcing it to close. The Music app is no different.

Start by opening the App Switcher by double-clicking the Home button on an iPhone with Touch ID or by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. The Music card can then be removed by holding and dragging it to the top of the screen.

Drag and hold music card

Then, open the Music app once more and begin listening to a song or album. Proceed to the other fixes if it keeps pausing frequently.

Check the Apple Music System Status

Another reason for unexpected delays in music streaming could be problems with the Apple Music servers. Check the status next to Apple Music on Apple’s System Status page to see whether that’s the case. Please be patient as Apple resolves any outages you may have encountered. You usually won’t have to wait too long.

Restart Your iPhone

• Restarting your iPhone may resolve any underlying problems that are creating sporadic pauses in Apple Music tracks.
• To shut off your iOS device, go to Settings > General > Shut off. Next, to restart it, press and hold the Side button.
• To turn off the screen, slide.

Troubleshoot Wi-Fi Woes

You’re probably dealing with a shaky connection if Apple Music keeps cutting out over Wi-Fi. To remedy that, take the following actions:

• Turn the airplane mode on and off.
• Update the IP lease.
• Wipe out the router.
• Change to an alternative WiFi network.

Switch to cellular data

In the event that you choose to use cellular data, make sure the Music app is authorized to stream and download music over cellular data by going to Settings > Music > Cellular Data.

Disable Low Data Mode

The iPhone’s Low connection Mode can be problematic when streaming media over Wi-Fi or cellular connection, even if it helps save bandwidth. Try turning it off if you have already enabled the feature.

• Here’s how you accomplish it with cellular and Wi-Fi.
• Wi-Fi: To access the Info icon next to the active Wi-Fi connection, go to Settings > Wi-Fi. adjacent, flip the switch adjacent to Low Data Mode off.
• Cellular: Select Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Settings, then flip off the setting for Low Data Mode.

Switch off Low Power Mode

Apps may also not function properly due to Low Power Mode, which causes the iPhone’s battery icon to appear yellow. This is particularly true if the app is left running in the background.

Turn off the setting next to Low Power Mode in Settings > Battery if Apple Music pauses briefly after you exit an app or turn the screen off.

Disable Automatic Ear Detection in AirPods

Because of a technology called Automatic Ear Detection, using a pair of AirPods may create sporadic pauses. It’s useful if you want to turn off the audio while removing your wireless headphones. However, it can potentially backfire if you fidget with them excessively.

You must have your AirPods linked in order to select the Info icon next to them in Settings > Bluetooth to off Automatic Ear Detection. The switch adjacent to Automatic Ear Detection should then be turned off.

Download the song or album

Downloading a song or album could help resolve the issue if it keeps coming up when you’re streaming it. You may either long-press the track or tap the three-dot icon next to a song to save it to your local storage. Then, choose Download.

Select an album to download by tapping the icon located in the upper-right corner of the screen. Alternatively, long-press the album and choose Download.

Delete and Redownload Track or Album

It’s probably corrupted if an album or track you downloaded ends up halting at random. Attempt to delete and download it again.

Tap the three dots next to a downloaded song or album to remove it, then choose Remove > Remove Download/Downloads.

Reset the Network Configuration on the iPhone

Try wiping the network settings off of your iPhone if none of the aforementioned methods work. To accomplish that, select Reset Network Settings under Settings > General > Reset.

Tap the Reset Network Settings button

Use cellular data to stream Apple Music or manually reconnect to Wi-Fi when the network settings are restored (the reset process erases any saved Wi-Fi networks).
