Why does my music keep playing after I close the app?
Many apps are designed to keep on playing your music after they've been minimised, allowing you to keep on listening while using your phone for other things. Each app is designed differently, for example the YouTube app will not allow you to play music without looking at the app.
If music is still playing after you've minimised the app it could be a design feature. Try returning to your music app and stopping the music manually or closing the app. It may take a few seconds for the app to close and your music to stop playing.
If your music continues playing, you can force the app to close. If the issue continues, we recommend contacting the app's developer.
Please note: force closing an app should only be used as a last resort as it can cause errors
