Option 1. Open Music on Browser Instead of App

Option 2. Repair iOS with Tenorshare ReiBoot

Option 3. Wait for Snapchat to Fix iOS Bug

Option 1. Open Music on Browser Instead of App

How to play music and Snapchat at the same time on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch? In most cases, we play music on the music App like iTunes, Spotify or SoundCloud, which will have an effect on Snapchat app running for some unknown reasons. Therefore, one of the feasible suggestions figured out by a group of tactful users is that you had better not playing music on App, but on web browser like Safari. After that, both of them won't influence each other. The specific steps are:

Open the song in web browser on iOS device (for example: open.spotify.com/browse) and play. Bypass the request to open it in app and then minimize browser screen.
This will pause the song, now you need to swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone screen to pull open the control center, which will bring it up in the audio player.
Press to play, and music will be played in the background while running Snapchat.

Option 2. Repair iOS with Tenorshare ReiBoot

The second measure is to repair iOS systems. In this case, you need a workable tool, which is called Tenorshare ReiBoot . With this professional in usage, you won't be anxious about any iOS related breakdown. Here is the step-by-step guide:

Option 3. Wait for Snapchat to Fix iOS Bug

You may be so frustrated when Snapchat pause music playback on Bluetooth or iPhone earphones, so does Snapchat. In the year of 2015, Snapchat has solved the same annoying problems so that you are able to record video while playing music from your phone, rather than music pausing. Therefore, if the same bug happens in iOS 15, I believe Snapchat team will fix the bug as soon as possible. You just have to wait for Snapchat to fix iOS 17/18 bugs timely and wait for an updated version.

After doing this, you are able to disable Snapchat from stopping music over Bluetooth while recording or other operations, and finally achieve to listen to beloved songs and run Snapchat application to share stories or record video at the meantime.
