Forget iMessage apps, the Siri SDK, QuickType AI suggestions and the Apple Music redesign.
There is one iOS 10 feature that I’m looking forward to more than any other: The ability to take pictures while listening to music.
Ever since getting an iPhone 6s with iOS 9, anytime I listen to music and open the Camera app my tunes get automatically paused. The annoying glitch is a total vibe-killer when I’m just trying to snap a quick pic on hiking while listening to jams, but it appears Apple has finally fixed the issues with iOS 10.
The issue has been limited to iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus users for the last nine months. I’m not the only one who found it completely infuriating, but after installing the first iOS 10 beta Cult of Mac can firm that it’s finally fixed when using the iOS Music app.
Unfortunately, the glitch is still in effect when using Spotify, though it might be something Spotify’s software engineers can fix now that the iOS 10 SDK is available.
iOS 10 contains another of other improvements for the camera app, including the ability to access it quicker from the lock screen by swiping from the right edge to the left. The control scheme for the iPad was also updated with a new look.
Apple plans to release iOS 10 later this fall as a free update to iPhone and iPad users. Make sure to read our guides to catch up on all big iOS 10 features (and the hidden ones) coming to your iDevice soon.

WooHoo! It’s about time.
This is the best news of the day. Literally a bug I deal with every day.
WHAT!!!? You HAVE GOT to be kidding me!! The company that claim’s to make the best hardware ever couldn’t even do what ALL my windows phones have? What a joke! Apple is a joke! Apple is like the GOP, all talk and now show!
LOL! Ok…
Anyway, it’s not a bug—music stops when Live Picture mode is activated.
So it’s a feature? ROTFLMAO!!! Live by the award, did by the award.
Live Picture records sound, so…
“…did by the award.”
ROTFLMAOPIMP!!!
Have fun in your Babalonian religious cult built on a foundation of lies, stolen technology and a dead personality.
ROTFLMAOPIMP!
#DOSWindowsNotStolen
Plotting to steal Windows at apple 1. One cerate’s from genuine interest, one copies and steals for game and fortune. The very leftist’s that hate big business fun the biggest slave labor business in history.
Can you say HYPOCRITE?
It isn’t true that it happens just when Live Pictures is on. I never have live pictures on and every time I open my camera app it mutes my music.
Additionally, If I have headphones on (bluetooth or wired), my iPhone should be smart enough to know that and still send my music audio to my headphones knowing that it will not interfere with video or live picture audio recording.
The fact that it mutes my audio when I want to take a picture IS a bug.
That it isn’t smart enough to realize that I have a headset is just lazy coding.
Trump supporter huh?
Yeah, that’s it. The perception from a single button, single issue, monolithic thinking moron who couldn’t multitask his way out of Brown paper sack and apparently can’t read well either (ReplaceTheGOP).
Or I’m trolling you.
It’s not a glitch or even an issue, the reason music is pauses when you open the camer app on an iPhone 6S, is because “live photo” is in use, turn that off and music should continue as normal as long as you don’t start recording video. :)
Not true. Turning off Live Photo does not work.
Funny again! I can listen to music, take pics and record on my windows Nokia 1520 and it picks up the audio perfectly. Keep defending your POS hardware and software, this is absolutely priceless. And I love how this has been an issue and NO ONE has made the comment til now. Like good little Brown shirts, the 3rd Reich can do NO WRONG. Amazing what a blind following will make people do.
“Windows” phone. You mean yet another “Me too!” failure?
ROTFLMAOPIMP!
He’s one of the 4 people that bought one, so he has to get loud about it.
