IOS 18 Apple Music Keeps Crashing

Since upgrading to IOS 18, Apple Music keeps crashing on both iPad and iPhone. I open the music app, start a song to play, it plays for about a minute then crashes.

Is Apple aware of this as it is happening to a lot of users who have upgraded to IOS 18? Tried all the obvious fixes, such as shut down iPad and iPhone and restart but no joy.

Apple needs to fix this A.S.A.P. particularly for Apple Music subscribers!

This is also happening to a friend of mine who has all his music on the iPad and iPhone, rather than streaming and it still crashes.

my apple music was working fine when i got the update until recently i would say a week? the song skips perfectly fine but when i wanna skip it, it sort of stays on the song but the app freezes for minute but keeps playing the song so when i exit the app, it has the song it previously was playing.

it also freezes on the control center when i wanna skip the song so i have to exit the app to restart it to work again.

iOS 18.1 is out now, I hope this is fixed. I haven’t updated yet since I am at work but will update tonight. Please Apple. I work as an automotive tech and the random crashing doesn’t help because I can’t pause my music with my wireless earbuds since the app completely freezes. It won’t work on the lock screen either.

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.

I had a fix but it wasn’t permanent. I disabled cross play and the bug is happening less frequently than it was.

Just tried this. Will report back if it doesn’t fix. If I don’t, try this it probably worked. Definitely seems like a memory leak somewhere.

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

Alright so! I got the latest update and Apple Music will not crash when I search for a song in a playlist. Not sure yet if will stop crashing. I’ll keep everyone updated on the rest.
