How do I remove music player permanently from lock screen or stop apps/ios recognize videos to be music?

I want a clean lock screen but when I use some media player to play video contents the music player sometimes recognize it and show up in my lock screen. I know by closing the app the music player will gone, but sometimes I don't prefer to do that. Is there any way to remove the music player from lock screen and from control center forever? Another solution is to stop the music player from recognize the video so it won't show up, is there any way to do that? This kind of problem is like the problem that I can't remove the big clock on the lock screen from my pc or iphone. I just don't know why there isn't this option.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Did I mention anything about Siri? If not, then please use your brain to understand that what I'm talking about is the music player on the lock screen when I play music using apps such as YouTube music. I want to remove that widget so it can't block my wallpaper.

Hello there,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can remove Music from Siri suggestions which should help with this especially if the Music app comes up when you do anything in particular. Below guidance is from Siri Suggestions on iPhone.


"Turn Siri Suggestions on or off for an app

Siri Suggestions are on by default for your apps. You can turn them off or change the settings at any time.

  1. Go to Settings  > Siri & Search, scroll down, then select an app.
  2. Turn settings on or off."


You can also send feedback to Apple regarding this feature from Product Feedback - Apple.


Take care.
