IOS 18 Apple Music Keeps Crashing

Currently working with Apple Support and there is no official work around or from what I’m told is it even being looked at yet. I’ve been advised to delete the app and all of my downloaded music then redownload everything again to see if that works. She said to make sure to keep the subscription when deleting the app.

We shall see.

Same thing here. Virtually not usable. Pretty sad for a paid service that crashes, hangs, lags, etc. Apple knows, but will never admit. Reminds me of a Windows product. Also causes all 3 of my ipads to get very hot. Looking at alternative music services. I live for my music. Lesson learned. Don’t be so quick to update software.

I got fed up and deleted the music app, kept subscription, and redownloaded from the App Store. Since then I have not had any issues. Annoying to have to redownload all your local songs again but it far outweighs the annoyance of it crashing every few songs and all the other glitches I was experiencing.

Apple Music is crashing after the update of macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 , Music still freezes for a while and crashing when listening and loading of music takes more time or too slow and dolby atmos through HDMI not working

Yep, this is happening to me too. It’s extremely irritating when it happens multiple times a day and even multiple times in a given hour sometimes. I keep checking for updates every day but still nothing to fix this major issue with their service/ios.

Same here. It is now crashing on my Mac Studio also and Airplay is disconnecting every 5 or 10 minutes. Pandora here I come!

Confirm still having this issue. Happens daily. App freezes but music keeps playing for one more song. Then I have to force close it and restart it which takes unusually long. iPhone 15 latest public release.

I’m on iOS 18.0.1 and today my 15 Pro Max suddenly kept crashing multiple times after one song played or if I started a song and wanted to skip ahead to another in my custom playlist. Strangely my 12 Pro Max, which is also on iOS 18.0.1 was perfectly fine playing songs on Apple Music.

What worked for me was clearing the history within Apple Music (drag down from the now playing screen and you should see the previously played songs). After doing this, Apple Music worked as normal and I could skips songs without the app crashing.

I tend to listen to the same playlist on repeat so I wonder if it caused some sort of memory corruption.

Mine is doing the same, even still with 18.1. I can play from my library without issue (as far as crashing at least - Still very VERY laggy), but when I go to my “Favorites” or any other playlist, it crashes without fail. It starts by showing a song and artist that’s not still playing but did previously, then I cannot skip and literally close the app to restart. For a period of time after closing the app music even still plays. This was no issue at all on the prior OS versions so PLEASE resolve this once and for all. I personally could care less about AI and other “upgrades”, just fix what wasn’t and is now BROKEN!!!!

iOS 18 Apple Music crashing all the time. Will play a few songs then stop. When it crashes the screen is stuck on a song played earlier and none of the controls work. Have to force stop and restart to get it going again. Please fix this bug ASAP Apple or give us a credit for the subscription. Thank you

This is definitely still a daily issue. How is there not a fix for this yet?

I am having the same issue. I have a downloaded playlist and keeps crashing just as it finished a song and goes to the next song it crash. I need to close the app and restart it again. I don’t want to switch to another music subscription. They need to fix it ASAP

Good news! My iPad Air running iOS 15.3 is running Apple Music app perfectly and is able to Airplay all over my house. It only took two hours to download all of my music to it and now I am set. SHOULD WE HAVE TO RESORT TO OLD DEVICES TO FIX THE MISTAKES OF APPLE?

I’ve been having issues with Atmos audio and lossless audio on my Apple TV 4K. Many times, when I’m listening to a song in Dolby Atmos/lossless, it stops abruptly about 30-50 seconds before it ends and doesn’t finish the song. I’ve noticed that when I switch to just lossless and disable Dolby Atmos, the problem goes away. On the other hand, when I switch to just Dolby Atmos and disable lossless, the song plays perfectly. I haven’t noticed any issues with my iPhone or AirPods Pro 2—it’s just with my Apple TV 4K. All my devices are updated to the latest versions, including the paired HomePods. I’ve even rebooted and reinstalled tvOS 18 on my Apple TV 4K, but the issue persists.

For me Apple Music would run fine for a while and then it just stops when the final song ends. Lock screen freezes on 0:00 point of the last song, there's a pause button instead of play button so the system seems to think it's still playing music, but when I unlock and go to the Apple Music app it's showing me the song that was playing when I locked the phone instead of the last one as if it crashed.

The only thing I can do is manually swipe away the Apple Music app and then restart it, but when I do the song before the last one plays again as if the last song didn't happen at all. This always happens, sometimes after only three songs, sometimes it goes on for over an hour or something, but ultimately ends up in its frozen state. Been like this since the day one of ios 18 and it's pretty annoying.
