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.

Same thing was happening to me. I figured out that if you swipe up to open the control center, then open the iPod (music). I had to hold my finger on it for about 3 seconds then you tap on a lighter grey area around the outside of the iPod, it will actually close the app and remove it from your lock screen. Same thing when you’re swiping between apps, to actually get to your home screen you have to tap on the lighter gray area around the outside of the apps.
