2012 Escape Limited with SYNC issues.

I can be listing to an audiobook on an iPhone 7 IOS 13.6 and it will quit playing and close the Books app.
I was tole that there is a fix from Ford that might take care of this. Also I don't know what version of SYNC
the headunit is running.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Was Ford able to fix the issue of did you do something else?

Thanks.

Is there any issues with any other apps or has the Iphone updated recently?
What I have noticed is that if apple makes a program change/software update, then Sync has issues with the new program since Apple doesnt want to say what it changed, so Ford (and other manufacturers I assume) have to play catch up and make a new program for Sync that works with the new apple program, It doesnt seem to be as much a problem with android phones, but thats is very unscientific study results.

I have not updated the phone in some time. It just started doing this out of the blue.

If you send me your VIN there is some way that I can check what Sync program there is and I believe determine if there is a newer Sync program.

Ok I was wrong, computers were just updated to microsoft edge and the only thing that doesnt work is the on edge is the Sync section.
I ****ing hate ford, the only site FMC worked on completely was internet explorer and thats not a option now.
Sorry OP.
