New music on iPhone - can't play next song if I have music on repeat?

So if I have music on my iphone set to repeat (vs. Repeat album or nothing), hitting the "forward" arrow no longer goes to the next song - for some reason it restarts the song I'm currently listening too. I have to unlock my phone, open music and manually choose the song I want.

How can I change this?

Repeat means to repeat the song you're playing. If I really like a song, I'll set it to repeat and it will play the song over and over. If you want to listen to a certain album, hit shuffle for that album or make a playlist.

If you mean repeating a playlist, there's a button where you press the repeat button a couple of times and it can mean repeating the song, or the playlist. Press it once and it repeats the playlist, press it again and it repeats the song. Kind of confused on your question but I tried.

I have the same problem which really sucks when I'm working out with my beats and have to walk back across the gym to manually unlock and change songs, Apple get someone fix this please As soon as possible
