iOS 13 - remove music widget from locked screen

Hi There!

I would like to remove music widget while my iPhone is locked, but still would like to control my music and play it thru shaking phone etc. I tried to toggle many settings in widget, notifications... checked many tube guides etc. Still iOS13.2 does't respect my settings widget is still there when I'm playing my music.

Is it so hard coded this "music widget" that you can't hide it from locked screen?

Thx in advance!

iPhone 7

Edit Lock Screen I used to have music app preview on my Lock Screen when listening to music. Once I closed the app / deleted it from the history, it would also disappear from my Lock Screen. But since the last few months I can’t figure out how to remove it from my Lock Screen. And it ennoys me a lot as at my work people can see the music app open on my locked phone and they could think I’m listening to music while at work. Ive tried to check settings in several topics (Lock Screen, widgets, music App, edit Home Screen...) but can’t find where to remove it. Does anyone know please?

Music apps replace lock screen widgets and backgrounds The new lock screen widgets (battery status, weather, etc) on iOS are a real improvements. However, when a music app (Apple Music or Spotify) is playing the widgets disappear and the wallpaper is replaced by music covers. In particular, that the widgets disappear doesn't make any sense. Why would I no longer care about battery status just because I am streaming music? So my question is whether there is any way to disable the take over of my home screen by a music app?

minimize full screen music control on lockscreen I just upgraded to iOS 16.2 on my iphone 12mini. If I'm playing a podcast, the app takes over my lock screen hiding the wall paper. It is absolutely obnoxious. Is there any way to minimize the podcast/music controls on the lock screen in iOS 16.2.
