If you have a Samsung Galaxy series smartphone and it automatically plays music when it connects to a Bluetooth device, it can be disabled.
The music player, by default, will start to play music once it connects by Bluetooth.
For example, when a galaxy smartphone music player app is connected via Bluetooth to a car stereo, it will automatically start to play the music.
This can be annoying and can be turned off with the steps below.
The steps below use the Samsung Music app as an example, which comes with all galaxy smartphones.
If you use a different music player, the steps should be similar.
How to Stop Music from Playing Automatically When Connecting to Bluetooth Galaxy
