Lyrics Apple Music iOS 14 not showing

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.

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.

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.

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
