Ever since I updated my iPhone to iOS 14 I can’t see lyrics anymore on Apple Music. Just before the update I could see the lyrics on the same songs, but ever since the update it stopped. What’s the problem? Is there a solution for this?
Hey guys,
im just as frustrated as you if not more but
One thing that I ask is PLEASE NO ONE MARK “Problem Solved”!!!! The problem IS NOT SOLVED. Right now there is a glitch in Apple Music that the only way you can see the lyrics is by “Turning Increase Contrast OFF” (which btw I always turn on and have since it was an option years ago.) I’ll put a pic in of the difference. People are writing PROBLEM SOLVED BUT ITS NOT SOLVED. You have to turn another useful function of your iPhone off so lyrics come up on the Apple Music App. Very weird and I’m VERY SURPRISED that APPLE HAS NOT FIXED THIS YET!!!! I woke up with a 14.2.1 update and I was thinking 🤔 “ok this has to fix it because people have been complaining about it since iOS14 came out”. STILL NO FIX!!!! So if everyone could keep writing to Apple they are gonna fix it because that’s why I get Apple Music, it has the lyrics!!!
The 1st picture is what you have to turn off for lyrics to work. And I put a 2nd pic under to show u what your screens look like without increase contrast on!!!! APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS BAD. Needs to be their #1 priority.
ıt doesnt work unfortunatelly when ı check my screen time And content is also turn off but same situation is still continue.
I can’t view lyrics whiles using my Apple Music
I can’t view lyrics whiles playing song with Apple Music
Ok, for me this is now fixed. I had turned on "Increase Contrast" in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Increase Contrast
Turning Increase Contrast OFF immediately restored lyrics in Light mode.
Hopefully this fixes it for you too!
The tech support also had me check that I did not have content restrictions turned on in Screen Time > my Iphone, which I did not.
All, Please check that your accessibility --> Display & Text Size --> Increase Contrast (Disable).
My iPhone SE 2016 iOS 14.2 should be disable the increase contrast function, the lyrics will resume to normal on Dark and Day Mode.
It may be a bug of some old iPhone, may be seek Apple to fix this bug on next OS version
I did talk to Apple support. They indicated that turning off Increase Contrast was the fix for this issue. And my phone still has this issue after updating to 14.2. The fact that YOUR phone does not is great, but the issue is not resolved by updating to 14.2, which is what you initially claimed.
Dark mode works, if you can see lyrics in dark mode turn off "Increase Contrast" in Accessibility options and you should then also see lyrics in light mode.
Basically what's wrong here is that when "Increase Contrast" is OFF, the background for lyrics is dark (when phone is in light mode). But turning "Increase Contrast" ON sets the background for lyrics to white (when in light mode), but doesn't change the color of the lyrics themselves which are also... white. So they "disappear". Technically the lyrics are still there, they're just the exact same color as the background when "Increase Contrast" is turned on and your phone is also in light mode. When you switch your phone to dark mode, the background for the lyrics is dark and since they lyrics are white they are again visible.
@abdulbary272 did you even read the thread? Or did you just come here and post the exact question that started all this and that has already been answered multiple times?
Spoiler alert: It's the second one.
I am all 14.2 updated but this seems to be WHY I can't see the lyrics (unless it was the update before that?) and the only way I'm seeing them now is with the "increase contrast" settiing ticked to "off".
If this ain't a bug on Apple's part
I guess I'm a monkey's uncle?

This thread needs to be locked. People continue posting things without reading any of the previous posts in the thread that have addressed their issues and plainly explained how to solve them.
This issue is fixed in iOs 14.3, you can sign up for the apple public beta program and install the 14.3 beta and you will see this issues is resolved.
@gramstel now I’m jealous by the fact that you had at least one device which worked properly 😂 Just kidding. If there is one thing i love about Apple Music more than the other services it’s because of the library of songs they have and lyrics. Hurtful to see the core expectation that i have is not functioning properly 😞 and the worst part is I noticed this issue and registered a complaint while using iOS 14.0. They’re running iOS 14.2 now and this issue is still not solved. “ working in it forever” 😏
Lol no, After I downloaded iOS14 & this morning was a NEW DL for iPhone iOS14.2.1 and still on both devices I have to turn increase contrast off. It’s annoying but eventually they will fix it or people will leave. It’s that easy!!!
Thanks
kept playing with the settings re the advice previously. Dark mode got things moving. After turning it on and off and turning the contrast setting off… It appears to be working as before.
so all good👍
I have no clue how and why, but this has somehow fixed the explicit lyrics problem.
On both my phone and iPad, I did this and the it has somehow worked around the issue. I’m quite shocked if I’m being honest because this ‘solution’ sounded like a waste of time. I tested if the explicit lyrics still worked after closing and reopening apple music and after deleting iBooks and sure enough it did. However, I wouldn’t say this is a solution but thank you!
I think it has something to do with the older versions of iPhone because my father doesn’t have this problem on his 11, but this is happening on my iPhone 8
