Apple Music is a popular streaming service that lets you access your favorite music from anywhere. Unfortunately, it can start playing music automatically, which can be annoying and disrupt your listening experience. Fortunately, there are ways to stop Apple Music from automatically playing. This article will provide step-by-step instructions on how to turn off autoplay and take control of your music.
Turning Off Autoplay
The first step in preventing Apple Music from automatically playing is to turn off autoplay. This can be done by opening the Apple Music app on your device and tapping the “For You” tab at the bottom of the screen. Then, tap the profile icon in the top right corner and select “Settings.” Scroll down to the “Autoplay” section and toggle the switch to the “Off” position. This will stop Apple Music from automatically playing music.
Understanding Autoplay Settings
Although turning off autoplay will prevent Apple Music from automatically playing music, it is important to understand the different autoplay settings. These settings can be found in the same “Settings” menu as the switch to turn off autoplay. The “Autoplay Options” section contains three different settings. The first setting is “Play Autoplay When Connected to Wi-Fi,” which allows Apple Music to play music when connected to a Wi-Fi network. The second setting is “Play Autoplay When Connected to Cellular,” which allows Apple Music to play music when connected to a cellular network. The third setting is “Play Autoplay When Unplugged,” which allows Apple Music to play music when your device is unplugged from a power source.
Taking Control of Your Music
The best way to take control of your music is to customize the autoplay settings to your liking. This can be done by turning on the “Play Autoplay When Connected to Wi-Fi,” “Play Autoplay When Connected to Cellular,” and “Play Autoplay When Unplugged” settings. You can then customize the settings to your liking by tapping on each setting and selecting the music genres, artists, and albums that you would like Apple Music to play. This will ensure that Apple Music only plays the music that you want to hear.
Apple Music can be a great way to listen to your favorite music. However, it can be annoying when it starts playing music automatically. Fortunately, there are ways to stop Apple Music from automatically playing. By turning off autoplay and taking control of your music through the autoplay settings, you can customize the music that Apple Music plays and ensure that it only plays the music that you want to hear.
