Lyrics not displayed on Apple Music post iOS 17 update

I’ve updated to ios 17 whatever and lyrics no longer show up in my Apple Music for any song. It is quite an issue, as I was using my Apple Music for my work music in the store I work at in Disney. I can no longer ensure songs are clean and safe for little ears, as I can’t see the lyrics to anything. No longer using this service if I can not see lyrics, so I’d like to avoid having to leave Apple to switch to Spotify.

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. :)

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 for sharing the tip to “View Credits”. I’ve been wondering for weeks what happened to the “share Apple lyrics” feature but figured it was the last update to my phone that caused the “share lyrics” feature to suddenly disappear.

Maybe someone on the Apple Release teams should include those type of tips in their Release Bulletins in user friendly language so it stands out. If they did, I apologize for missing it, but I don’t remember reading anything pertaining to lyrics feature being relocated.

No worries, I’m happy now!

I regret so much downloading iOS 17.3.1 because now in Apple Music the view lyrics you have to do an extra step to view them. Before you could copy and paste the lyrics for translation purposes but now they took that away too. What a bummer. Another nail in the coffin. I am so upset, I was using iOS 15.2 where I was able to copy and paste the lyrics of a song now in iOS 17.3.1 you can only view the lyrics but you can’t copy and paste it any more
