How to Automatically Pause iPhone Audio During Maps App Prompts

If you're listening to audio on your iPhone while using the Maps app, you may want the audio to pause automatically when the Maps app provides a navigation prompt. This can help you stay focused on the directions without missing important information from your audio.

Fortunately, there is a feature built into the iPhone that allows you to do just that. Here are the steps to enable automatic pausing of audio during Maps app prompts:

1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone. 2. Scroll down and tap "Maps." 3. Scroll down to the "Navigation Voice Volume" section and turn on the "Pause Spoken Audio" toggle.

Once you've enabled this feature, your iPhone will automatically pause any audio you're listening to when the Maps app provides a navigation prompt. The audio will resume automatically after the prompt has finished.

Note that this feature only works with audio that is playing through the built-in iOS Music app, as well as other audio apps that support background audio playback. If you're using a third-party audio app that doesn't support background audio, this feature may not work as expected.
