11.2 Bug - Podcast & Music app freeze constantly

[RobbyIdol]

Anyone else having issues where the podcast and music apps freeze and won't play audio randomly? It will work fine for a portion of the day, and then inevitably just freeze and require a complete phone reboot to fix. Really annoying. Happens at least 3-4 times a day for me now since updating to 11.2

iOS 11 is just such a let down. It's like iOS 10 but with a bunch of unstable bugs.

I have this happen in conjunction with losing haptics on my home button and all audio including key presses. Interestingly, if I catch with everything working and start the music app, I can let it play all day with no problems. I’ve been doing this since Monday with the volume turned all the way down to keep my phone semi working.

Has happened to me, but maybe 3-4 times a week. This bug has been in every 11 release.

Have not had to restart the device to get things working again, just need to quit the app and restart.

I experienced this as well and I want to add that my icloud music library on my iPhone 7 is not updating when adding songs via my MacBook or other iDevices.
