Music player and locked screen - iOS15

is anybody else having the music player showing up on lock screen when a Bluetooth device is connected. (I’ve done all of the troubleshooting steps without success but I haven’t even used the music player since installing iOS 15 ). It seems to be triggered by connecting to a Bluetooth device, in my case, hearing aids. This issue existed in iOS 14 too but Apple addressed that bug, but after installing iOS15 it is now recurring on my iPhone 12pro.

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.

I have the same issue with the music App showing up on the lockscreen on my iPad. I have iOS 15.1 and Bluetooth is turned OFF altogether. I want this to go away. I never use it.

Apple knows about this problem and this should be fixed with the next update

I have bluetooth hearing aids and this music app on my lock screen is very annoying. Apple is trying as hard as they can to get everyone to download songs and other crap that no one wants for a fee.

When is the next update? Four weeks past your response and the problem still exists.....Apple is slow as molasses running uphill in the wintertime.

It sure is. Just updated my 13 Pro. As soon as I connected my hearing aids it popped back up. Clearly Apple thinks this is not worth fixing nor worth providing an opt-out for. Bloody annoying.
