iOS 10 - No longer showing Suggested Apps on Lock Screen?

Hello, I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 10. I can't find the setting that allows the music app to show on the corner of the lock screen (like in iOS 8&9) on iOS 10, when I plug in headphones. Please help, I've tried looking it up but I can't find anything.

iPhone 6, iOS 10

Gentlemen, I think it's time to consider that this feature no longer exists.

I don't have it on my phone either.

Furthermore, I googled "iOS 10 lockscreen" and I found ZERO pictures/screenshots showing any app icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.

For those of you, for whom it's a big deal I suggest you contact Apple Support (https://getsupport.apple.com/) and confirm it.

If the lockscreen app suggestions is in fact missing from iOS 10, you can suggest Apple bringing it back (http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html)


There's also a twitter account @AppleSupport but I find their responses less accurate and not always correct.

Myself I always use the chat option on the mentioned website and never have had any complaints about it.


Good luck!

As an update, mine too finally started magically working. I hadn't had the siri app suggestions widget on in the widget screen but turned it on. After I did that they started to show up again whenever I would plug in my headphones (podcast app pops up), bluetooth in the car, etc. So it sounds like iOS 10 either re-learns all of your usage data and then starts using it.
