Has anyone else noticed these types of issues?

Scenario 1
I'll be listening to an album on my headphones. I'll pause playback for an hour (removing my headphones from the lightning port). Then I'll plug my headphones back in and my iPhone will queue up a random song from my library instead of queuing up from where I left off.

Scenario 2
I'll be listening to a podcast. I'll pause the podcast for about 10 minutes or so, keeping my headphones plugged in. Then I'll swipe up control center to resume playback only to find that my playback pane is blank, instead of showing the podcast that I was just listening to. I then have to open the podcast app to resume playback. It's almost as if the podcast data had been wiped from the RAM.

Scenario 3
I'll be listening to an album on my wireless headphones at home. I turn off wireless headphones and immediately plug in my wired headphones, only to find a different song queued up from the one I was just listening to.

I never used to have these problems with iOS9. Why can't my phone just always resume the last thing I was listening to, regardless or what accessory I'm using and regardless of how long ago I listening to it?

Yep, me all 3 do the same, really annoying!

Same here. I'm seeing all three scenarios. Scenario #2 is particularly driving me crazy. I listen to podcasts on my car via bluetooth and I would be driving somewhere, park for a few minutes and get down to do something and when I get back into the car and turn it on it would start playing some random song instead of resuming from the podcast I was listening.

Disabling some of the location stuff and Siri suggestions removes this problem *most* of the time. Every now and then it still would fail to resume a podcast. I even had it sometimes resume the podcast app when I don't have any new episode and it would start streaming the last one... :mad:

But I do miss the location suggestions, they are handy when I'm out and about doing errands on banks and some other stores and the corresponding app is suggested.

I get all these as well. #2 is one that gets me a lot. Add these to the long list of stupid design decisions in iOS 10

Yep get all these and then to round things out nicely there's just the plain pausing anything momentarily and attempting to play again by pressing the headphone button frequently doesn't work

I've been having these problems since iOS 9. Also, I'll be playing a podcast and when I resume it's music. Or vice versa.

I'm so glad when I plug my headphones in the sound plays through the speaker. Apples new trademark, dodgy software

When I plug them in, sometimes they play through the headphones, other times the play through the loudspeaker. I usually need to unplug and plug them back in to work. Not earth shattering, but goes on the long list of bugs

Sounds like something might be off with your headphones or device itself.

Ive noticed that after using shazam or after watching a video in youtube/safari, the playlist always gets reset to the beginnning instead of resuming where I left it...
