I need to see my notifications. I don't use the music player... I will NEVER use the music player. It's taking up valuable real estate.
Thanks!
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.0.1
I'm confused. The Music player on the lock screen, only appears if you are actively playing something when you turn on the screen. If you have not been playing anything, or pause it and unlock the iPhone and then turn off the iPhone, the playback section should disappear. It will not disappear if you just pause from the lock screen and turn if off.
Otherwise its not there, and you just need to swipe up to get the notifications.
However, you'll always need to swipe up to see notifications though, and they'll take over the space used by the playback controls any way even if they are there. Notifications are no longer shown directly in the lock screen, and need to be revealed by swiping up regardless.
Settings -General - Reset - Reset All Settings worked for me
Had the same issue. All I did was turn the phone completely off and then back on and the Music was gone!
I think I finally got this one. I was having the same problem. Go to settings, notifications, music, and turn it off. When I did that I don't have it on my notifications anymore.
I showed this “bug” to a genius at an Apple store today and they verified it as a bug that would hopefully be fixed in a future update.
Restart your phone. That worked for me.
I FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!!!!!!
This was freaking driving me nuts, tried everything and finally figured it out.
Go to: Settings/Notifications/com.apple.music and just shut it off.
Woo Hoo!!
I solved the problem by turning off the Bluetooth and resetting the phone. I tried all other suggestions on this page but the music player was still on the lockscreen.
Restart worked for me.
Turning off Bluetooth and restarting phone also worked for me. Thanks!
I started some music using Siri and it stayed up. Rebooted phone all is fine now.
I finally managed to get it off by turning off notifications and then powering off the phone. After it came back up it was off my lock screen.
Just to be sure. You said you disconnected the Bluetooth device. That is different than unpairing or forgetting the device. If you did not unpair or forget the device, this “fix” won’t work.
The only way I’ve gotten it to work was by going to Notifications, Music, and turning off the notifications completely. Hope it helps...
I agree. The media player was stuck on my lock screen this morning. Then I updated my phone with yesterday's iOS release and now it's gone! FINALLY!!
I didn't have a "Music" widget showing but did have "Podcast." Removed it, restarted, and problem is gone so far.
How do I remove the music player from the lock screen in iOS 11?
