Every once in a while I turn on my phone and I see the new iOS 11 Music Control sort of Notification. I don't have the app open, no sound is playing, it is just there. I do know that if I restart my phone it will no longer be there. If i don't restart my phone then it will disappear about a day later. I would just like to know what was causing it.
iPhone 6, iOS 11.0.2, Actually running iOS 11 Beta 1
No, it is not a bug. It is a feature an the way it is designed to work, and has worked that way for a long time. If there is any sort of audio output that is not completed, such as songs from an album that aren't yet played, podcasts that didn't finish, music streaming that wasn't turned off, etc, the iPhone will display the audio controls so you can resume playing if you want to. iOS is pretty smart, but it can't read your mind and doesn't know if you want to start playing again or not. The easiest way to get rid of it is to kill the app that was playing when the phone was last locked. Or just ignore it.
No need to power it down.

It appears to be a bug from the most recent Apple update. To fix this issue, just soft reset your phone (aka power it down). Once you power it up again, the Music app no longer appears on the Home screen.
It works for me. It should be obvious which app is the current music (sound) app. Tap on that app. Then press the HOME button. Then press it twice. Swipe up the app that is displaying the music controls to kill the app. That will remove the music controls.
Problem seems to have ended with latest ios update 11.2.2
So this is what I did and it work .. open other music app close it properly and reset the the phone it was gone
This irritating problem DOES matter. Although the functions aren’t affected, my wallpaper is a photo of my honeybunch! I can’t see her with that stupid player control overlying the screen! Shutting down my phone and re-booting clears the problem, but once I open any ap that uses sound, the player comes back to stay, even after the ap is closed, discarded, deleted, or whatever!
Negative. Mine was showing APPLE MUSIC on the lock-screen which I don't and have never used. I deleted the app totally, restarted, etc and it just changed to just a generic "iPhone" with a generic icon where it had been saying "Music" with the Apple music icon. There is no music app open to close. Incidentally, trying to play it does nothing
Try this!

No such button exists on my iPhone. I have pussed every icon and follwed the instructions at the bottom of the page that only take me to general preferences.
Yes it does appear, but at the bottom on an iPhone. Slide your finger up to reveal it.
This is drivin me NUTS because the music controls pop up while screen is locked and I have music playing. The point of a locked screen is so that I don’t hit any buttons while it’s locked. Now when I’m playing music and moving around I am constantly hitting that stupid music control pop up and it changes my music- skips songs, hits pause, etc! I just updated last week and along with the annoying screenshot in the corner I wish I had not updated!!!!
The same thing is happening to me and it’s driving me crazy!
Is there a solution? Your post just says Try this but doesn’t link anywhere :(
It’s driving me crazy!
Yeah, sorry about that! I tried to upload a screenshot of the steps to fix it but turns out it didn't work either. It's driving me nuts, too. Sorry I don't have a solution!!
Still a problem for me and I’m on 11.2.5
Did not work. I have closed down all my apps, and the music player still takes over my lock screen. I do not want it there. And I did not listen to anything that didn’t finish anyway.
Music Controls on Lock Screen.
