How do I remove the music player from the lock screen in iOS 11?

I noticed that the music control shows up when I dock my phone onto a speaker, and if I undock the phone when the screen is off, the control stays on when I am on the lock screen. But if I undock the phone when the screen is on, the control goes away! Yaeh. Hope this works for yoy

EdTechPam - Try the 5 steps in my last note (shown below). Turning off "Show Apple Music" is just Step 1.

1. Go to settings/music and turn Apple Music off.

2. Turn the iPhone off completely by clicking the control button on an iPhone X five times and turning it off. (or similar action for other types of iPhones)

3. Turn the iPhone back on.

4. Check the lock screen. You should not see the Apple Music widget.

5. If you want, turn Apple Music back on. The widget does not appear when the Apple Music player is off.

Turn off notifications for Music and reboot your device.

I specifically first turned off “show home screen alerts” for Music, then I turned off notifications completely (again for only Music). Wasn’t gone at that point but then I rebooted. Worked!

The only way to get rid of the Music volume control notification on lock screen is to exit (swipe up the app if loaded) and turn off and back on the phone. Kinda ***** but good old Apple propitiatory processes.

I would try going to settings> notifications> music/iTunes and turn off all notifications for it. Makes sense that the music notification is on in the notifications on the lock screen if it is set on. I would try that and see if it works

Problem fixed. I think. Deleted the music app and no more player and better battery life.

Until you use YouTube. Or play any kind of media in Safari. Or use Spotify.

I had the same problem. I opened the music app (it wasn't open to begin with) then swiped up to close the app. This seems to have resolved the problem.

I had this same problem. I ended up just shutting my phone down completely and restarting. That finally solved the issue.

I just closed out all my apps and then powered off my phone. I turned it on right away and it went away.

I went ahead and deleted the app (never used it anyways) restarted my device, and voila it‘s gone!

Have to see if it stays gone.

If you go into your settings & go to music & turn off the apple music& restart your phone it makes it go away!

Settings-General-Reset-Reset all Settings worked for me

I just did a forced restart by holding the lock screen and power button at the same time. Then turn your phone back on. When mine turned on the music in locked screen was gone.

Go to General>Reset>Reset all settings. This got rid of it for me and it doesn’t alter anything major

swipe up and close all you open apps. Then reboot the device. this worked for me.
