ios 14.2 - Lock Screen Player Suggestions

New feature on ios 14.2 - every time you plug in / connect to your headphones it shows the Player.

Now i don't use "Apple Music" or "Apple Podcasts" - so my player is always empty. (I use Spotify and Pocket Casts).

Can i turn off this feature? So every-time i will plug in the headphones the player will not pop in ?

iPhone 11

iOS 14: Remove music and podcast controls from lock screen I have an iPhone 8+ running iOS 14. It is typical for me to listen to music when I go running, but the default iOS accelerometer and lock screen functionality is causing me problems. When I run, the motion causes the lock screen to turn on, and exposes the pause, rewind and fast forward buttons from the music and/or podcast apps. Inevitably, body and pocket contact will cause the app to pause the music, interrupting my exercise. The most obvious solution would be to have an option to remove the music control buttons from the lock screen. Several web searches and YouTube videos with incorrect remedies and instructions later, I am no closer to resolving the issue. Any ideas on how I can stop the music from being paused when I am running with the iPhone in my pocket?

minimize full screen music control on lockscreen I just upgraded to iOS 16.2 on my iphone 12mini. If I'm playing a podcast, the app takes over my lock screen hiding the wall paper. It is absolutely obnoxious. Is there any way to minimize the podcast/music controls on the lock screen in iOS 16.2.

Music App Stays on Lock Screen When Closed Hello, After using the Music app, and also the Audible app, both put a widget on the lock screen. How do I prevent this from happening and why does the widget not remove when closing or stopping play? Its annoying. I am on IOS 14. Thank you, John Marrocco
