Music doesn’t show up on lock screen

When I’m listening to Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music. It always shows up on my Lock Screen. Last week I bought a new Apple Watch and since then I don’t get my music player on my lock screen anymore. The weird thing it’s on both devices (iPhone and Watch). Anyone knows how to fix this issue so I can enjoy my music again?

Hi there rein243,


We understand that when using any music app, there is no "Now Playing" window on the Lock screen of your iPhone or Apple Watch.


What steps have you tried so far?


We suggest starting with the following:


If that doesn't work, make sure both devices are fully updated, and all installed apps are updated as well:


If the issue continues, then please reach out to Apple Support: Get Support


Cheers.
