Music widget not accessing recently played

Hi Miehl,

Have you tried removing the widget and adding it again? If not, that's a great place to start: Use widgets on your iPhone and iPod touch - Apple Support

1. Touch and hold the widget that you want to remove.
2. Tap Remove Widget.
3. Tap Remove again to confirm.

If the issue continues, check your iOS software. If there is an available update, be sure to back up first: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Take care.

Miehl,

Apple Support would be in the best position to further troubleshoot this persistent behavior: Contact - Official Apple Support

Take care.

Hey Miehl,

It sounds like this happens no matter the type of widget. Where are you selecting inside of the widget? If you are selecting on a specific song, it should bring you to that specific album/single. Unless you select on the top of it, which should bring you directly to that specific playlist.

In this case, it would be best to connect with Apple Support directly: Apple Support

They are the pros, so they'll take it from here.

Wishing you the best, take care.

Hello Miehl,

You mentioned it hasn't worked properly in iOS 15. Does the entire Widget not work or just with Apple Music? The Music widget should show what content was recently played, paused, or recently added to your library.

When you attempt to tap on this widget, are you receiving any errors or alerts when it opens the Music app? When you try to select a specific song, does it play?

Is this widget on your Home Screen, Today View, or a stack?

The more we understand about what's going on, the better we can assist.

Wishing you well, cheers.
