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?
It 100% solved the problem for me. With Increase Contrast on I saw lyrics in dark mode but NOT in light mode. With Increase Contrast off, I see lyrics in both modes.
This is a bug on Apple's side, there is no "solution" to this problem other than Apple fixing the bug. For some people (such as myself), turning Increase resolution OFF fixes the issue. For others (such as you, apparently) it does not fix the issue. And for many others this isn't an issue at all, lyrics show up regardless of the setting for Increase Contrast or the setting for light/dark mode.
This is an Apple problem, not a settings problem
If you read the thread more carefully you’ll see that this problem doesn’t have a solution. Unfortunately it’s a bug that apple has yet to fix. There are two different bugs with lyrics: One where the problem is with the contrast, and another with explicit songs. You can’t see lyrics on explicit songs and you’ll just have to wait until apple fixes this.
If you can play explicit songs but only cant see the lyrics please try these steps.
-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 , it sounds silly but it’s like magic
Now apple is spamming me with every reply to this topic, which has gotten completely out of control. No matter how many times I turn off "Following" it resets to being on again and my inbox is full of emails about this crap. Stop alreay.
I’ve got IOS 14 on my phone & iPad.........both under my Apple ID, lyrics display on the iPad but no longer display on my iPhone...........paying a £9.99 monthly subscription for Apple Music which doesn’t work on my apple phone..............
Amazing...........I almost didn’t even try this as it’s sounded so random as a fix, but indeed so long as permanently in dark mode I have lyrics again.......but as you say it’s a work around and needs fixing..........after all £9.99 subscriptions for Apple Music that is not working as it should on Apple devices is not a great endorsement
I agree, after I changed to dark mode I was able to see the lyrics when the music is playing. I change back to regular mode and the lyrics were gone. How can this be fix so lyrics show on day mode ????
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!
Go to your Settings
click Accessibility
click Display & Text Size
Find Increase Contrast and switch to off. There you go Happy Birthday !!! ;)
Hope it helps, If still doesn’t show call the support.
Hi! I’ve been having the same problem and just now, I checked my iOS version and it was still on 14.2, so I updated it today to iOS 14.3 and it’s already solved on that update. Lyrics now show with the increase contrast mode on in both dark mode and light mode.
APPLE NEED TO FIX THIS BUG, LIKE SOME SAID AND THANKS,,, only in dark mode you can read the songs but if your are in normal light mode will be imposible. Change the letters to a different color please. Not always we have our phone in dark mode.
thanks
Hey! I was having this same problem but after some searching I managed to fix it. When you click on the song that you want the lyrics for (navigate to the menu where you would pause or skip the song), on the bottom of the screen there is 3 buttons, on the bottom left there is a button with a speech bubble and this symbol: “, inside the bubble. Click that button and the lyrics should show up. This fixed it for me, let me know if it works!
I had the same problem but only with certain albums. I tried everything in this thread, nothing worked. I ended up deleting all of the albums without lyrics and redownloading all of them and the lyrics are back. May not work for all, but if it does great. By the way, I have all of my music backed up in the cloud, this may not be a possibility for anyone who may have to purchase the albums again. Can’t really think of a reason why you would have to do that, but just FYI. Good luck.
This has nothing to do with Dark or Light Mode, nothing to do with Contrast! The lyrics button on the bottom left is Gray (deactivated) for every song. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max, this problem began after I upgraded to 14.6. Apple needs to correct this problem!
