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.
I just turned on dark mode and I’m able to see the lyrics. Thanks. I also agree that it’s a work around and not a solution
Switched back to dark mode and voila!
Just go to Screen Time and turn off Content and Privacy Restrictions. Your music lyrics should show afterwards.
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).
To everyone searching for a solution: I was one of the first people to raise this issue so trust me, I’m not crazy.
this should solve this bug. Again I’m not crazy but it did work for me. Let me know if it works for you as well. If it did I wouldn’t mark this bug as solved as the solution seems absolutely stupid. We need to close this issue only when Apple fixes it in their OS
yes, even I have the same issue. Lyrics works fine for non-explicit songs but for me only explicit songs have this issue. This needs to be fixed!!
@ corbin167
Absolutely not correct, for me the problem persists on ALL songs when Increase Contrast is on
Put phone settings in displays and brightness and switch to dark mode to view lyrics
Go to dark-mode and you will see lyrics while Apple fixes this issue
If you search for the song the lyrics work and if you gor to playlist i dont work
To me is also only on explicit songs, even though restricted content is off. To me is has nothing to do with contrast. There seems to be 2 different problems in the comments here. There are certain people who can’t see the lyrics on light mode and people that can’t see on both for a different reason. Someone mentioned before that it only works on dark mode because the lyrics are the same color as the background when contrast is on, but my problem and many others is that the lyrics won’t even load. They’ll go to the lyrics but they don’t load and immediately go back as if you closed them.
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.
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!

Agree. But I'll clarify: I'm on iPadOS 13.7. I have been on this OS version for a long time, and earlier on the same OS version the lyrics of the song were available. Now the lyrics for some songs (but not all) are no longer available. Therefore, I don't think this is a problem of any particular OS version. The problem appeared on the same OS version that did not have this problem before.

It has nothing to do with Screen Time at all. It's amazing what kind of absurd versions one can find in this thread.
P.S. I'm sick and tired of numerous bugs in iOS/iPadOS. When I was on Android, I could not even imagine that there could be such a nightmarish number of bugs in OS.
It will act like it’s going to switch over but it just goes back to the song screen.
