Apple Music widget not updating

Hello, I’m not sure if this is a common problem, but I’ve recently updated my iPhone 11 Pro Max and started using the new widgets. I have added the Apple Music widget to my screen but it stays on one playlist coming from the Browser. It’s not even a playlist I have downloaded. Anytime I play a song through Apple Music I can only see the song playing through the app icon, while the widget stays on that random playlist. I assumed it would match what was actually playing. Is this something that can be fixed? Yes I have updated everything, deleted and reapplied the widget. Not sure if there’s anything else to try. Thanks :)

Having the same issue but found a little workaround. If the autoplay icon (the infinity symbol) is turned on, it somehow updates the widget. Play the song from the individual album -> toggle the autoplay 'on' ->the widget should update. It somehow doesn't work if you play the song from the song list in your library 🤦‍♀️, but works with playlists in 'Listen Now' on Apple Music.

Not a complete solution but if looking at the wrong widget bothers you this might help :)
