Why does my Apple Music Keep Pausing or Cutting Out on my phone?
Welcome to Blackview blog. Hope the guide helps.
If you're finding that your Apple Music keeps randomly pausing, stopping, or cutting out while you're listening, there are a few common reasons why this might be happening:
1. Connectivity Issues
One of the most frequent causes is problems with your internet connection. Apple Music needs a stable, fast internet link to stream the music without interruption. If your Wi-Fi or cellular data is spotty or slow, it can make the music keep cutting in and out.
Make sure you have a reliable, high-speed internet connection, and try moving your device closer to your router if you're on Wi-Fi.
2. Device Compatibility
Another potential issue is that your device may not be fully compatible with the Apple Music app. Older phones, tablets, or computers may struggle to play the music seamlessly, especially if they're running an outdated operating system.
Check that your device meets the minimum system requirements for the latest version of the Apple Music app. Updating to the newest OS version can sometimes fix compatibility problems.
3. App or OS Bugs
Bugs or glitches in either the Apple Music app itself or your device's operating system can also lead to playback problems. The app may have some kind of software issue causing it to keep pausing.
Try updating the Apple Music app to the latest version. You should also make sure your device's OS is fully up-to-date.
4. Storage Space
Surprisingly, running low on storage space on your device can sometimes make Apple Music stop working right. If there's not enough free space to cache the music, it can cause interruptions in playback.
Free up some storage by deleting unused apps, photos, or other files you don't need.

5. Background Apps Interfering
Having a bunch of other apps running in the background can sometimes interfere with Apple Music's ability to stream the music smoothly. The other apps may be using up system resources.
Close out any unnecessary apps that are running in the background before using Apple Music.
6. Permissions Problems
Make sure the Apple Music app has all the necessary permissions it needs on your device, like access to the internet and audio controls. Missing permissions can stop it from working properly.
Check your device's app settings to make sure Apple Music has all the required permissions.
7. Uninstall and Reinstall
If all resolutions above can not fix the issue, uninstall the app and reinstall it. This will clear the app cache, besides, you might need to log in your account again.
8. Hardware Issues
In some rare cases, a problem with your device's actual audio hardware - like the headphone jack or speakers - can be the culprit behind the music cutting out.
If you've tried all the other troubleshooting steps and the issue persists, there may be a hardware problem with your phone that needs to be addressed.
If you've checked all these things and Apple Music is still giving you trouble, you may need to contact Apple support for further assistance in diagnosing and fixing the problem with your specific setup.
