Lyrics not displayed on Apple Music post iOS 17 update

Click on “VIEW CREDITS”. The full lyrics are there now! 😉

"Click on “VIEW CREDITS”. The full lyrics are there now!"

Yes, that seems to work now, but... WHY APPLE, WHY?!?!?

It was simple and straightforward before, now it's an extra step to get there... and by no means an obvious one.

Having "View Full Lyrics" right above "Share Lyrics..." made sense.

Moving it to "View Credits" makes absolutely no sense.

How a group of people thought this was an improvement to the app is truly mind-boggling.

Oh... and let's randomly move the categories around on the "Browse Categories" screen, just to make it harder to find the ones you like.

Maybe put the most recently accessed categories at the top?

Apple has some incredibly talented designers and thinkers, but sometimes I have to scratch my head.

It's like...

"Hey, what if we move the power button from the top of the phone to the side?"

"OMG Bob, that's fricking genius! I just hope that people don't accidentally press the volume-up button when pressing the power button... yeah, no... that will never happen."

No it doesn’t show the lyrics.

AND, as it turns out, if you open a songs page clicking the icon in the lower left corner (quotation marks inside a speech bubble) will bring up automated lyrics too!!

I know right! I did find it under credits but it’s just an extra step I didn’t want to take especially if I’m playing music for someone and need the lyrics then and there. I hope Apple goes back to the view full lyrics option.

This is not the case, it actually says lyrics are available, I actually downloaded one that says, with lyrics in Apple Music and the lyrics still do not appear, I also can no longer download. Any music, I tap the download icon it spins a moment and stops not downloading anything. I can download the same music on my iPads that have not been updated.

Man that sucks as a musician who uses it primarily for lyrics to perform.

Thank you for this information!!!! I found it right where you said. 😁 I do wish they would put it back where it was though rather than have the “share lyrics”. “Share lyrics” would be better placed in the “view credits” section in my opinion since most people share lyrics way less than view lyrics. Thanks so much again!!!!

For everyone on here saying click on “view full credits” , that does not work. Maybe for some songs but not for the one I’m trying to look up (“Bed of Lies” by Nicki Minaj and Skylar Grey”) which you would think would be a song that would have the lyrics up normally .. but nope. Now what ????? Wtf

Hello iwannaknowwhy,

This article explains more about using the lyrics options with Apple Music: See lyrics and sing in Apple Music on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. Start out by making sure those settings are enabled so you can see the lyrics.

The next step would be to check your internet connection and possibly try while connected to a different one, as you will not be able to see the lyrics load up offline.

We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.

As mentioned previously: Click on the "three dots", then select “View Credits”. The "View Lyrics" option is there now. Why did it move? I guess someone with a big ego thought it was a good idea. :)

Thank you!!! I wish I found this the first few searches, it would have saved me a bunch of frustration!!! You rock...

magalycruvinel THANK YOU!!!!! You made my day, week, year!!!!!!!

”Lyrics Not Showing on Your iPhone”

Play Songs From the Artist Page Instead of Your Library.

If Apple Music lyrics stop showing up when you're playing music from your library or a playlist, try finding the song directly on the artist's Apple Music page instead. While playing the song in the Music app on your iPhone, tap the artist name in the Now Playing view, then tap Go to Artist. This will take you out of your own music library and into Apple Music's artist page. Here you can either find the song directly on the artist page, perhaps under Top Songs, or by opening the relevant album.

Credits Go To: George Tanari

***In addition, try selecting the conversation bubble at the bottom left while playing the song. This worked for me on some songs, but not all. Hope this helps
