Lyrics Apple Music iOS 14 not showing

No he’s right. Its not that we can’t see the lyrics, it’s that they aren’t popping up, it’s just the album art on my iPhone when it’s an explicit song then I go to my mac and the lyrics pop up for that same explicit song.

There are two different issues then because mine has nothing to do with contrast I’ve tried all of that. Doesn’t matter if it’s on dark or light mode. Clean lyrics work fine, explicit ones don’t. It will act like it’s going to pull up the lyrics and then switch back to the album cover. Can someone please change this back to unsolved like other people have said? This way Apple will see it.

This is correct, it appears that there's at least two different problems relating to lyrics here, one has to do with Increase Contrast setting and/or Light/Dark mode, the other has to do with Explicit Content and lyrics for explicit songs not showing even when the setting allows them.

For what it's worth, though, I've been told many times that "Apple does not monitor these forums, if you want Apple to know about your problem submit a bug report" with a link to somewhere (sorry I don't know where).

@wylhkg Perhaps, but earlier in this thread someone who sounded just as certain as you do right now said "This is fixed in iOs 14.2" and it absolutely is NOT fixed in iOs 14.2. So no offense, but I'll believe it when I personally update to 14.3 and the problem goes away.

I can confirm that with the public beta of iOS 14.3 installed on my iPhone 12 Pro, the problem I was having (lyrics not showing when Light mode is on and Increase Contrast is also on) has been fixed. I have my phone in Light mode and I have Increase Contrast turned ON and lyrics are showing just fine.

@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.

This has just happened to me. It is one of the reasons I pay for Apple Music subscription and it is very frustrating to have the lyrics visible one day, and then after the update they have disappeared. Apple, please fix.

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.

I FOUND A SOLUTION TO THE EXPLICIT MUSIC PROBLEM!!! Trust me it sounds silly but it’s not a joke, it helped me and many others in another forum. “Thank you for sharing your issue on apple support communities

If you can play explicit songs but only cant see the lyrics please try these steps and let me the results after you do.

-Close music app in backround

-Open apple books app

-If u dont have download from AppStore

-Search for Oliver Twist book by Charles Dickens

-Open book , you dont need to download, just tap sample button and swipe 10-15 pages

-Then open music app and play explicit song and tap lyrics button , then booom , its a magic 😂 I hope i will work for you. Please let me know your issue , after you try these steps. Take care!”

I 100% agree with @gramstel. The issue is not solved guys. A workaround is not a solution. As long as the bug is fixed directly in the music app please don’t mark it as solved !!!! Increase contrast or other similar settings might work for YOU but that doesn’t guarantee that it works for everyone. Personally none of these workarounds have worjed for me. I use iPhone XR and iPad Air 4.

@srinathSrk I have been saying this for awhile because if they see problem solved buttons that’s not what we want. Apple 100% knows, because I called 3x and made sure that I spoke to Apple Music and they just say ”We know it is a huge issue and we’re working on it”. We all know what “we’re working on it” means. It means that unless they keep being bothered or start to notice a significant decline in membership they won’t do anything. But that seems really dumb to me because the majority of Apple Music Listeners like it so u can see the lyrics while the song is playing. I love to examine lyrics and see how many things one bar just said. I was lucky enough to at least get lyrics when I turn Increase Contrast off but my iPad Pro 3rd Generation has the exact same issue when I updated and I had to turn increase contrast off on that too!!! Let’s go APPLE!!!!

@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!!!

This is NOT SOLVED lyrics wont show up to at least half the songs in my iTunes!!!! Still happening after most recent update. It wont even go to the screen with lyrics just stays on album photo. This is not solved at all. Changing the contrast settings does have an effect but even if those setting are changed to normal some songs still wont display lyrics. Not even if you click see Full Lyrics. I even deleted the song a redownloaded them and still wont fix. Try different versions on one song and still no fix. Very Very frustrating
