Hello Leescottrn,


Are you taking these steps to fast-forward or rewind the song: Play music on iPhone


Play music on iPhone

Use Now Playing in the Music app to show lyrics and play, pause, skip, shuffle, and repeat songs. You can also use Now Playing to view album art.

Note: Not all features are available in the Apple Music Voice Plan. For more information, see the Apple Support article How to use Apple Music Voice.

Control playback

Tap the player near the bottom of the screen to show the Now Playing screen, where you can use these controls:

The Play button.

Play the current song.

The Pause button.

Pause playback.

The Next button.

Skip to the next song. Touch and hold to fast-forward through the current song.

The Previous button.

Return to the song’s beginning. Tap again to play the previous song in an album or playlist. Touch and hold to rewind through the current song.


In case you are taking these steps, what is happening when you try them out? Does it result in a different type of behavior? Let us know, so we're on the same page.


Take care.
