Custom lyrics not showing iOS 11.2

Yes there is a workaround to see the lyrics. It’s is a workaround and a lengthy one far from ideal.

If you list the songs the way they appear is easier, however if you shuffle your entire collection of let’s say 12k songs, is a very lengthy, time consuming work-around.

Apple should get their act together and fix this bug, $1150 for an iPhone X is not spare change.

By the way, even with this workaround some lyrics still don’t show and I know there are on the phone because if you open the third-party APP Marvis+ then you can see them.

Hope is resolved soon but it had been broken for quite some time and many upgrades.

Do me a favor sssh90, go to your library, click on songs, click on shuffle, click on the bottom the 1^st song playing, ok now try to get the lyrics without a long work around and multiple clicks….

Continue…..

Select any other song in the shuffle below the currently playing song.

Again, try to view the lyrics.

NOT ACCEPTABLE…. APPLE work on your bugs.

Please sssh90, do everyone a favor.

Stop writing that this works.

it simply does not. It is possible via various operations (I know, I posted them with movies) to get the lyrics, but it is ****** inconvenient.

What we need here is a simple reliable popup of the lyrics, no matter what mode we are using to play the music.

Thanks so so much for finding out how to find the lyrics!

This is a very stupid design, Apple. The app design completely disregards the iPhone SE users without 3D Touch. Just changing the interface every now and then is a truly pointless business.

Hey its my problem too on iphon 8. I could see lyrics by 3d touch but thats gone too. Lyrics was the only reason i have iphon since iphon 4. Apple is working very hard to make us n o t. Buy iphon.

APPLE PLEASE GIVE US OUR LYRICS BACK!!!

i feel you man. this issue has going on for far too long. the only reason i can think of is that Apple is deliberately not working on a fix; surely they can't be that dumb to not have come up with a solution after so long? or could they...

So today I got a new update (IOS 11.2.2) hoping will show me the battery health or fix the lyrics on the music app, neither was addressed it.

I guarantee you that if the late Steve Jobs will be alive, this attitude will not be tolerated.....

After the 11.2.2 update on my iPhone SE, I see absolutely no change in behavior compared to what I posted earlier.

What is needed in my opinion:
Something simple fullproof.

A lyricson/lyricsoff button.

If lyrics are present for the song playing, they are displayed.

If there are no lyrics attached to that song, they are not displayed!!

How about that Apple?

It still appears to depend on the model/size of the device; the vast majority of files on my 6 Plus still do not display the lyrics, and those that do require at least 5 convoluted steps, and even then they display inconsistently. Some of my files display lyrics in "songs" but not in playlists.

Apple apparently messed the feature up when attempting to make lyrics force-touch friendly and now they are not adequately testing all models / variables when trying to fix. I suggest they revert to the older system where lyrics always displayed below artwork.

Hay Thanks I Saw The Link And Did What You Said But It's working On Some Songs And Dose Not Work On Others With No Reason i can see. I Have 3877 Songs And Added Lyrics To Each song On Itunes One By One (It took A Very Long Time...) I Did It Not Because I Was Board, I Did It Because I Wanted To See Lyrics While Hearing The Song.

Please Apple Fix This.

Another BUG Is That In the Few Songs That I Can See Lyrics, When The Songs Changes, The Lyrics Don't, So I Listen To Song While I See The Previus Songs Lyrics.

Does Anyone Knows How Fix That?

Is it A Bug Or Is It done On Purpose?

Thanx For Helping

So if I'm opting to manually manage my songs and videos on the device itself and don't keep or sync anything on iTunes, I'm now SOL? If I've painstakingly created lyric tags over the years for obscure songs either manually or via other apps I'm now SOL?

The is not the Apple of old, where things "just worked."

Perfect. Yes, way too many hoops to jump through, but the lyrics are displayed nonetheless. Thanks for this. I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to show the lyrics after the ridiculous update IOS 11. It used to be so easy to simply touch the album artwork on my older iPod and the lyrics came up.

After updating my iphone to 11.2 recently, I noticed I cannot look at my custom lyrics I added via iTunes on my phone anymore. There is no show lyrics button. Why is this? Is this a bug or is this how the app is for the foreseeable future? I am seriously, deeply sad and angry that this feature has been taken away. It was literally the only thing keeping me in iOS.

It’s a bug that started after IOS 11, before worked flawlessly, hopefully this will be fixed, if not will keep my iPad and get a better phone since I found IPhone X not an improvement (returned after one week, reusing my old 6s plus)

also the hardware where i updated the iOs is

iPad mini 3

iPhone SE

iPhone 5S

The iPhone 4S is on 9.3.5 cannot be updated but that works like charm….

Running music, if i touch the artwork, the upper part of the screen displays the lyrics…

works perfectly!!!
