Music player and locked screen - iOS15

This is silly. Can not get rid of playing on Lock Screen. Bluetooth off, music app delete, home control off, swipe right no edit button, search settings for widgets or Lock Screen. Spent 45 min on this and sill now playing is on the Lock Screen hasn’t bothered me till I tried to get rid of it.

Hi Apple, I too have started observing the Apple Music issue since latest iOS 15 upgrade, when connecting to Bluetooth device automatically on the Lock Screen. When I unlock my phone, there is no Apple Music app launched and hence, I am forced to go the Music app and close it. This experience is becoming annoying day-by-day and it’s genuinely a bug in the latest iOS version!!

Hope you address this issue at the earliest!

Thanks!

1. Turn off blutooth 2. then the phone and when back on, it should be gone.

Apple are assholes always changing things that don’t need to like (Siri and having to say a full sentence to turn flashlight on hands free instead of just “flashlight”), I had forgotten they turn blutooth on for updates and there it was on and trying to connect to everything when I looked and the music was gone upon doing said steps.

is anybody else having the music player showing up on lock screen when a Bluetooth device is connected.

You need to disconnect the Bluetooth device.

If you have the music player on your lock screen like this:

Then tap the AirPlay icon, and turn AirPlay -> Off.

Check If the AirPods connected, if so you will get the music player.

Disconnect the AirPods.

Hello Jimeg,

Thanks for reaching out through the Apple Support Communities about the Music app unexpectedly appearing on your Lock Screen.

Has this occurred with multiple Bluetooth devices?

Does the Music app stop showing up on your Lock Screen if you temporarily disable Bluetooth?

Is your iPhone updated to the latest iOS 15.0.2? Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Also, does restarting have any impact on this behavior, even if only temporarily? Restart your iPhone

Hopefully those details will help to further isolate this behavior.

Take care.

Hard rest does not fix it, it’s just another fucking glitch of Apple iOS!

I have been having this issue since I updated my Apple iPhone 12 Mini to iOS 15.4. I even waited until the update was readily available to install instead of using the public beta to try to avoid as many bugs as possible. It does appear to be a bug in the update as simple troubleshooting suggestions have fixed it twice now for me. I have spoke to someone about it and am having it reported to hopefully get this bug fixed through Apple itself.

Same here. Have iOS 15.1, have tried turning Bluetooth off and I still get either music or Pandora on my Lock Screen even though both apps have been closed out. Have tried restarting phone. Nothing works. This has been less than 24 hours and it’s already super annoying. Help!

This happens every time I plug in a dongle that has both charging and aux output.. the music player shows up immediately on the lock screen despite the app not being active or open. To make it worse I can’t swipe it away so have to open the app and close it to disappear.. super annoying as this is how I connect my iphone 12 mini in the car.

This issue occure randomly. Sometimes restart is fixing this issue or sometimes i need to start music and than kill music when playing.

Notning like esle is really working with it.

Bluetooth device that is only connected is apple watch (even shut off bluetooth is not helping)

It's really super annoying

I have iOS 15.1

I just updated to 15.1 today and the music on Lock Screen started immediately. My music app is not open and I go in and close it and it still shows on Lock Screen. I have tried to restart. Turning off Bluetooth etc. this is super annoying since I cannot figure out how to clear this from my Lock Screen at all.

I am having the same issue ever since I updated to 15.1. The Apple play covers all of my notifications as it takes up the entire home screen so I cannot see them unless I scroll up and I used to be able to see them right there on the home screen without having to do that very annoying. Please fix this ASAP!!!
