IOS 18 Apple Music Keeps Crashing

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.

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

Nope. Never had crossfade on so that is not the problem I am having.

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.

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.

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

I'll be listening to music, go the change the song, and the screen is stuck on a song I was recently listening to. Then it crashes... It's been happening to me for over a month and they still haven't fixed it... Spotfiy really does look better every day.

Also my battery has been getting depleted with the new update, shocker.. Wohoo Apple.

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

Nov 6 2024 reporting 6+ crashes in an hour. This is ridiculous. I can’t even listen to Apple Music.

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!!!!

Every time I try to add song to one of my playlists! I’m able to add two and then it crashes and then if I try to add a created playlist to another created playlist! It crashes and I have a huge playlist that I play on the way to work and half way there it crashes if I skip too many songs,this is all from the software upgrade to 18.1 and my battery life has went down as well

I’m afraid not. Same symptoms - either non-response or fully crashes after a time (1-10 songs). No obvious trigger.

• Both on mobile, wifi and downloaded
• I use the djay app to access my apple music subscription, and don’t have the same issue
• Seems to be more likely when in full screen mode with lyrics, but may just be coincidence

This is what's been happening to me as well. Has Apple even acknowledged this is a problem?
