Do you have Quick Tap enabled? I have mine set up to show notifications (I miss the old ability to swipe down on the rear fingerprint reader), but yours might be set up to play/pause media.
Me too, I loved that in my 2XL. Quick Tap doesn't really match up IMO, too many accidental taps when it's in my pocket.
Yeah, I barely use quick tap. The swipe down was so intuitive, and with a bigger phone triple tapping requires you to rebalance the phone in your hand, etc.
In case you don't know (I didn't for a while) there's a sort of replacement for the swipe down in One Handed mode, where you can swipe down on the very bottom of the screen to open notifications. It's not 100%, and very occasionally seems to turn itself off, but on the whole it works well.
I didn't even know this was a thing. Thanks for the flashlight short cut.
Holy shit... You were exactly correct that was what was causing it. Hopefully it will stop randomly starting to play while in my pocket now.
