While listening on my wired earbuds, connected via the dongle, my phone would randomly start playing a podcast using my podcast app (Overcast), and sometimes just forward itself to the next podcast in my feed Sometimes, plugging in headphones also causes calls to hang up followed by the music player blasting music, regardless of whether the call is started with the headphones in or out. The issue occurs even when all music apps are closed. Multiple Apple iPhone users with various models like the iPhone 8, iPhone X, and even the latest iPhone 12 series are reporting an issue that causes various music apps like Apple Music or Spotify to start playing automatically whenever wired/wireless headphones are connected.
