Lyrics not displayed on Apple Music post iOS 17 update

Click on “VIEW CREDITS”. The full lyrics are there now! 😉

"Click on “VIEW CREDITS”. The full lyrics are there now!"

Yes, that seems to work now, but... WHY APPLE, WHY?!?!?

It was simple and straightforward before, now it's an extra step to get there... and by no means an obvious one.

Having "View Full Lyrics" right above "Share Lyrics..." made sense.

Moving it to "View Credits" makes absolutely no sense.

How a group of people thought this was an improvement to the app is truly mind-boggling.

Oh... and let's randomly move the categories around on the "Browse Categories" screen, just to make it harder to find the ones you like.

Maybe put the most recently accessed categories at the top?

Apple has some incredibly talented designers and thinkers, but sometimes I have to scratch my head.

It's like...

"Hey, what if we move the power button from the top of the phone to the side?"

"OMG Bob, that's fricking genius! I just hope that people don't accidentally press the volume-up button when pressing the power button... yeah, no... that will never happen."

No it doesn’t show the lyrics.

AND, as it turns out, if you open a songs page clicking the icon in the lower left corner (quotation marks inside a speech bubble) will bring up automated lyrics too!!

I know right! I did find it under credits but it’s just an extra step I didn’t want to take especially if I’m playing music for someone and need the lyrics then and there. I hope Apple goes back to the view full lyrics option.

This is not the case, it actually says lyrics are available, I actually downloaded one that says, with lyrics in Apple Music and the lyrics still do not appear, I also can no longer download. Any music, I tap the download icon it spins a moment and stops not downloading anything. I can download the same music on my iPads that have not been updated.

Thank you for this information!!!! I found it right where you said. 😁 I do wish they would put it back where it was though rather than have the “share lyrics”. “Share lyrics” would be better placed in the “view credits” section in my opinion since most people share lyrics way less than view lyrics. Thanks so much again!!!!

Man that sucks as a musician who uses it primarily for lyrics to perform.

As mentioned previously: Click on the "three dots", then select “View Credits”. The "View Lyrics" option is there now. Why did it move? I guess someone with a big ego thought it was a good idea. :)

Hello iwannaknowwhy,

This article explains more about using the lyrics options with Apple Music: See lyrics and sing in Apple Music on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. Start out by making sure those settings are enabled so you can see the lyrics.

The next step would be to check your internet connection and possibly try while connected to a different one, as you will not be able to see the lyrics load up offline.

We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.

magalycruvinel THANK YOU!!!!! You made my day, week, year!!!!!!!

Thank you!!! I wish I found this the first few searches, it would have saved me a bunch of frustration!!! You rock...

Indeed. And how 'bout let's switch the positions of the Mute and Speaker buttons while we're at it?! Who else has muted themselves when trying to go to speaker or vice versa? **forehead slap**

Read the thread, all the secrets will be revealed!!
