Songs in library dont show lyrics but shows when you play song from search bar

Trying to figure out why it does this. My wifes phone shows lyrics for songs in her library and when searching. Every song I add to my library doesnt show lyrics but can see them playing the song through search

The songs I search in Apple Music will show the lyrics when I play it from searching but when I add the song to my library and play it from my library the same song shows no lyrics. I can literally stop playing the song go search it click on it to play the song and the lyrics will work.

Hey ahkiym,


If I understand this correctly, the songs you searched up on Apple Music shows the lyrics but when you actually play the songs, you no longer see the lyrics. Is that right? If so, then I believe that I can help you!


Are you searching up the same songs that your wife is searching up? I'm curious if they're the same songs and it's just not working for your device.


I'd like for you to try out the steps from this article and see if it helps: View lyrics in Apple Music


Let me know how it goes.


Cheers!
