iPhone X/8/7 users are facing music playback issue with iOS 15, iOS 14 that the music becoming distorted or pausing randomly or skipping at random instance of time. Streaming through either iTune in or Amazon Music, both of which have the skipping issue. When playing music using the stock Music app on the iPhone X, or iPad connected to a Bluetooth speaker (B&O Beoplay P2), the app pauses the playback by itself. The problem mostly comes up when the screen times out and goes dark. With issue occurring one more issue comes up with calls that the phone calls becoming garbled. The issue is really annoying as the music is pausing randomly on iOS 15.
The issue is occurring after updating their iPhone to iOS 15 and even the older version iOS 15, that the iPhone has been having the some audio playback issues that music stops and skips itself randomly. The issue was never observed with earlier version of iOS and surely iOS15 have caused music/audio playback glitch and skipping. One user reported the issue as :
“After about 30 seconds, the audio cuts off in my iPhone 13, 7, then comes back totally garbled. This has happened with music and podcasts, and it just happened while I was on the phone. 30 seconds into my call, the audio cut off, then came back slow and stuttering, eventually resolving itself.”

| Apple music not working in iOS 15 |
It not only one app that is affected but users are getting glitching with both music and podcasts playback and even for phone calls audio. This is strange that even on latest iPhone X and iPhone 8 when updated to iOS 11.3 and can hardly play ANY music without skipping, pausing, jittering, etc. The users never had these problems before the iOS11.4 update. It is obviously a bug in the software update not a hardware fail as older model like iPhone 6s also skips music audio with iOS 11.4.1
There are some possible fix and workaround to fix iOS 15 music skips issue, as follows:
How to fix iPhone 13 music not playing , skipping and stuttering issue: Apple Music
Fix 1: Keep phone unlocked
Some users report that audio issue in iPhone happens to them after iphone locks itself. It seems to happen seconds after locking the iphone and unlocking improves it. So if this is the case you can consider increasing auto lock time periode if you are really looking to avoid this issue for some time duration. But remember this may cost you battery.
Fix 2: Turn off Personal Hotspot
This seems to be working solution for many iPhone users as turning off the personal hotspot fixes the music playback issue in iOS 15.
Fix 3: Check your lightning cable
In case the issue is caused for you while using only connector, tThe problem can be the lightning>3.5mm jack adapter. Test with replacing it with a new one the issue should disappear.
Fix 4: iTunes restore
If none of above fixed the issue you should try to complete restore your iPhonevia iTunes and the jittering and skipping glitch issue should not occur again while listening to music or during a call.
Fix 5: Delete music app
You should try deleting the music app.
This will delete all of the associated
data. I reloaded the app from the app store. Deleting the app and its data that
it cleared the cache, and perhaps corrected a rogue process which is causing
music to pause or stutter.
