Its popularity stems from several factors: it\u2019s bundled with YouTube Premium, works across platforms and devices (except Amazon Echo), and lets you play unofficial renditions and covers alongside official tracks. And since it\u2019s so immensely popular, its issues can peeve thousands, and sometimes even millions of users. One such issue is now cropping up.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last week, we\u2019ve seen numerous reports of YouTube Music acting up. These reports are spread across Reddit and YouTube Music\u2019s support forums and, more specifically, discuss the app\u2019s inability to move to the next track.<\/p>\n<p>Several of these reports echo the same issue: YouTube Music doesn\u2019t automatically move to the next track when a particular song gets played through. And to make things even more frustrating for users, tapping the next (\u23ed) button doesn\u2019t do anything either. And it persists even for users with YouTube Premium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_mg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_mg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The YouTube Music bug has largely troubled iOS users, who have mainly encountered it with CarPlay. Some users, including my colleague Aamir Siddiqui, reported experiencing this when playing songs on YouTube Music directly on their iPhones. And despite the majority of reports coming from iOS users, at least one Android user also reported facing the same issue.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the issue is so trivial that it\u2019s bound to drive people crazy. However, the makeshift fix may be equally simple. Aamir says he was able to fix the issue simply by restarting his iPhone and did not face&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/youtube-music-next-track-play-bug-3670649\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube Music bug doesn&#8217;t play the next song, but there may be an easy fix&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":255264,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rasputin-playing-on-YouTube-Music-on-Google-pixel-10a.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72],"class_list":["post-255263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-pixel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255263"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255263"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255263\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":255265,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255263\/revisions\/255265"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
