After iOS 12 upgrade
the iPhone users are facing iPhone voice memo autoplay issue over bluetooth.
Whenever iPhone user connects with car Bluetooth enabled, the most recent voice
memo starts playing through the car's system. Worst part is that the car's
audio system is completely unresponsive while this is going on and you can’t even
stop the voice memo playing from Car conrols. Pausing the voice memo on the
phone while I am in the car isn't effective; the voice memo automatically starts
playing again. It was not the case with iOS 11 and surely iOS 12 have injected
this bug in the system causing iPhone voice memo autoplay.
The bug is really
annoying as you can’t leave bluetooth on when in car, therefore can't use
bluetooth to answer phone calls. The
only option seems fix the issues is to turn off the bluetooth. One user reported :
“I have. 2016 CRV and mine doesn’t even shut off if I pause it, it
keeps restarting the voice memo. It’s so frustrating I have to turn it off
completely!”
Even the voice memo
playing over Car Bluetooth is in the latest release of iOS 12.1 and iPhone
Xs/Xr. It just loops indefinitely. No way to stop.
How to fix voice memo autoplay in iPhone XS Max, iPhone 6s/7/8 in iOS 12 :
Fix 1: Turn off cellular data for memos
Go into your
settings then to cellular. From there all your apps will appear that would use
cellular data. You'll find Voice Memo and click off the cellular on it.
Fix 2: steam some music over Bluetooth
Please open setting
in car interface and check for automatic play. You shoud notice that default
play is Voice Memo and earlier used to be music. Change that to music and should
fix the issue.
Fix 3: Reinstall the voice memo app.
Please email the
memos before doing this as backup. By deleting the app and then downloading it
from the App Store, seems to work fine to fix the issue.
Fix 4: Remove unused app
There can be some
apps installed in your phone which might be causing some voice memo issue in
the iPhone eg Gasbuddy app. Please check for such apps and uninstall them and
see if uninstalling such apps helps in anyway.
