how do i disable the Music app appearing on iphone locked screen

The Music app appears as an icon on the lock screen on iphone AND occassionally instead of the lock screen wallpaper, an album cover & music controls appear on it.


If I wanted the album cover on my lock screen i would choose it as wallpaper.


Please can anyone help me stop the Music app appearing on my lock screen.


Many thanks.

By the way, I just posted the same reply (see above) a few minutes prior and had it removed, so I removed a couple of benign words then reposted it to see if they remove it again. This feels very reminiscent of being controlled and censored since I only expressed my frustration using the language kids use in elementary school. Apple is batting zero today.

This is a the same issue again before your previous update that fixed it. Since Apples last update the issue has reoccurred. I don't even have the music setting on. This appears to occur every time I turn my car off and the radio has been on. Please fix this issue which is very annoying. I have to continually turn my phone off and on again when I get out of my car.
