Hi there! Just to make sure I understand you correctly—are you saying that when you start playing Vita Solitaire on your iPhone, it begins playing music automatically? Or is it that the app somehow interferes with music playback you started outside the game? Could you tell me a bit more about what you’re experiencing right now? This will help me guide you better.

Its not my music app. Its only when i open the vita solitaire app.

Thanks for clarifying that the music starts playing only when you open the Vita Solitaire app on your iPhone running iOS 18.5. Let's get to the bottom of this!

It sounds like the app might have built-in background music or sound effects that start automatically. To check this, could you please:

1. Open the Vita Solitaire app.
2. Look for a Settings or Options menu—usually a gear icon or similar on the game’s home screen.
3. Within Settings, find the Sound or Music section.
4. See if there’s a toggle to turn the background music or sounds On or Off.
5. Try turning off the music or sound and then reopen the app to check if the music still starts automatically.

If this setting is already off or you don’t find any music options there, please let me know. Also, are you seeing any ads or pop-ups that might be triggering the music automatically?

This approach usually helps manage in-app sounds. I’m here to help you with the next steps based on what you find!

I dud check sound settings first. Its turned off. There are no ads as I pay monthly for no ads.

Thanks for letting me know that the sound settings are turned off and there are no ads since you have the subscription. That helps narrow it down quite a bit.

Since the app is still playing music automatically despite sound being off and no ads, here are a few next steps to try on your iPhone with iOS 18.5:

1. Force quit and reopen the app:
- Double-tap the Home button (or swipe up and hold if you use gestures) to open the app switcher.
- Swipe Vita Solitaire’s preview up to close it.
- Reopen the app to see if the music still plays.

2. Check iOS system sound and background app settings:
- Go to Settings > Vita Solitaire on your iPhone and see if there are any permissions or settings related to background app refresh or sound.
- Also check if the iPhone’s Silent Mode switch or volume level affects the music when the app opens.

3. Restart your iPhone:
A simple restart can sometimes clear temporary glitches related to apps and sound behavior.

4. Reinstall the app:
Since you have the subscription, after deleting the app, you can reinstall it from the App Store and restore your purchase to keep your no-ads status. This can reset any corrupted app data that might cause unexpected sound behavior.

If these steps don’t resolve it, it could be a rare bug with the app version on iOS 18.5. In that case, I’d recommend contacting our Vita Solitaire support team directly at [email protected] so they can investigate or provide a fix.

Please let me know how these steps work out for you! Are you comfortable trying them?
