iOS 9.1 doesn't fix stopping music while using camera

It's not a bug. It shuts off the music because the camera app doesn't know you aren't trying to shoot video with it. You launch it, it shuts off music preemptively.
Swipe up to bring up control center, and hit the play button to unpause your music.
Tested a few times between beta 4, 5 and now the release. On my iPhone 6 music continues to play when opening the Camera app. (As long as it wasn't on video from the previous open.)
This only seems to happen on the 6s and 6s+ because of Live Photos. (Because Live also uses audio) Even if it's not enabled. So that portion is a bug.

Hmmmm I see what you mean now. I finally got it to reproduce the issue. It doesn;t bother me personally, but for your sake, I hope it changes.
I love walking around the city, listening to music while taking photos. This is really annoying...
For Live Photos it has to happen before. Because it's always recording and uses the 1.5 seconds before you press the shutter. Which also captures audio. It would be silly for it to capture music playing for the first half of a Live Photo.
The only bug is that it turns music off even if Live Photos is disabled prior to launching the Camera app.
A bug that should get reported. But in all honesty, how many people are playing music at the very same time they're using the camera. I've never heard of anyone doing his until last week or so when someone discovered it in beta 5. (Or maybe it was two weeks ago in beta 4)
regarding Live Photos, if the music is on headphones why does it have to stop? the music shouldn't be picked up unless playing very loudly. and if it does a bit so what? the user will learn to pause themselves.
on a speaker I agree it makes sense to pause.
It's very annoying and didn't do this before. It does the same thing if you're listening to an audio book and you go to take a still picture. I can understand it shutting off sound as soon as you select 'video', but not a regular old-fashioned still photo. I haven't updated to 9.1 yet but if it's not fixed, it should have been!
Good suggestion, would be fantastic if Apple did that in a future update. Here's hoping.
Did you report this? Sometimes people do want music in their videos, like in many a snapchat vid. Sometimes people want to listen to music while they are just shooting photos. Your suggestion to resume after the condition where an app pauses the music is done is a good one.
