My phone was streaming mysterious music and I’d love some guidance on how this might have happened. Short version is: my iphone was connected to my earbuds through Bluetooth, and music I’d never heard before was streaming. So I closed everything - all apps and browsers and players - but music kept going. So then I closed Bluetooth and it finally stopped - which meant it wasn’t coming to my buds from someone else’s device (what I assumed), but from my phone. I’m worried my phone isn’t secure and would love some insight. And please don’t automatically say it was coming from an open app or browser etc - I truly closed them all, nothing was running. The music was in Spanish, a language I don’t speak, about two tracks worth before I closed Bluetooth.
