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.

I tried all the suggestions- only a hard reset worked. To Apple engineers: This is not about the music player appearing in the control center as a widget, it’s about it appearing on the lock screen when you lift the phone to see the time.


This is ridiculous. Everytime I plug in a cord, the music player shows up on the lock screen and NEVER goes away.

Apple expects me to turn off soft/hard/or otherwise the phone to make it go away every time????


Between this and botching the Bluetooth antenna on/off/"off for 24 hrs" setting. It is a mess.
