My playlists stop playing, sometimes after just a song, sometimes after an hour or 2 of play. It happens every time.
Phone: iPhone 16 Pro
iOS version: 18.5
Carrier: Verizon
Pandora version: 2506.1
More details:
Yes I have tried completely removing my Pandora app and reinstalling it, two times separately over the past month.
This problem only happens with my playlists, not stations. It happens with all my playlists.
It happens both when streaming my playlists and when listening to them in offline mode.
It happens on both wifi and 5G. It happens on both my home wifi and also my work wifi (at an office).
It happens regardless of whether I hit play from the start of the playlist or use shuffle.
If I'm playing and then hit pause and come back to it after a 30-60 min, it will play a few songs then completely stop. Sometimes it will only play one song and then stop, as though it just played a cached song. After it stops, if I go to Pandora again, the app opens to the home screen as though it is opening fresh. The controls have also disappeared from the lock screen.
Even when the controls remain on the lock screen, when I hit play it often won't work - I have to open the app, then hit play, and it will play to the end of that song and stop. Sometimes when I go to hit play, the pause button shows in the app as though it were playing, but it isn't.
Please help! So annoying, especially when I'm using a playlist to meditate and it just stops. Over the years I've had this problem before and reinstalling the app fixes it. Not so this time.
