Custom lyrics not showing iOS 11.2

I have find something...

For the tryk to display the lyrics that Retxed24 tell above,

it is not necessary to display the rose title at the second level. Just chose your song and put and let th finger on the title. A menu appear with "Lyrics" if you are personal lyrics. But I find too that this tryk is working for almost all my songs, but for some songs, the lyrics menu is not displayed on my iPhone, but I can find them in my computer iTunes, and that even after a synchronisation. Had destroy all my songs from the iPhone and remake a total synchronization with chosen songs, but this problem persist. Some of my lyrics from ABBA are not displayed on my iPhone 6.

I don't understand. I can't find a reason for that.

Sorry. It is the tryk from "ppithermo" and not from "Retxed24". I redisplay it.

(I believe i have a reliable way of getting the lyrics to be visible on the iphone.

I enclose a link to a small movie illustrating the methode.

I go for example to playlist pick a list, then a song.

Once the song is playing, I touch the song at the bottom of the scren.

I get the artwork.

If I touch the 3 red dots, the window that pops up does not containe the line lyrics. .

I click now on the small art work.

This activates a new list.

The song is displayed in pink.

I keep my finger on that song.

A new window pop up where the item lyrics appears at the bottom.

Of course complicated but reliable...it seems)

And as I said, not necessary< to display the pink song title. You can do this directly from the normal song title

After removing all my songs of ABBA from my iPhone and a resynchronization , I can again display my ABBA's lyrics.

But until when ? I could do that before 2 days and before this synch, it was impossible to display them. ( I removed all my songs from my iPhone 3 days ago, and reinstall theme with a iTunes synch.)

As I said earlier in this thread. All you have to do is hold your finger on a song and a menu will come up with options. Lyrics will be there if there are lyrics associated with the song. This works on an iPhone 6 plus.

And This is exactly the reason why I am angry against Mac. They put a lot of small bugs you can not avoid using an old version of iPhone or Mac, to push you to buy a new one.

For example, bugs with cable synchronisation to push you to cloud synchronisation. Doing so, you have to buy some memory. For the Lyrics, you have to pay to connect to Apple Music.

And so on.

Abject politic.

Be careful.

After a complete désinstallation of iTunes in my iPhone and a complete reinstallation, and after a cable synchronisation with my mac book, I had all my lyrics in my iPhone. I put new songs in my macbook with they lyrics, and after a new cable synchronisation, a lot of lyrics disappeared from my iPhone. I can't find a logic. Some lyrics was there, and someone else not, without logic, After a 3 synchronisation, some lyrics were back again and some other were erased.

I don't understand what's happened.

( I don't use a total sync, but a chosen synch. I check the album's I want to synchronise.)

Something else is very strange. I have done a cable synchronization again with my iPhone with checked only the chosen pieces of music, and the choose playlist. I have dechecked everything to sychronyse nothing, but instead, all my pieces of music are in my iPhone. Or I expected to have nothing because I haven't checked anything. I don't understand this sort of synchronization. I thought that I could have on my iPhone only the checked Album, And if it is an Album on my iPhone I don't want anymore, it was enough to have the checked box of this album empty on my synch list. But this don't work.

What I said before, is not totally exact. Were erased from my iPhone all the album not buy on the iTunes store. Those coming from a CD or other sources. It seems like the system don't treat the buy and not buy album in the same way.

This is not very useful.

hey all, i don't know if any of you have noticed the same, but it seems 11.3 completely fixed the whole lyrics issue, seems to be showing all lyrics ok now, without any issues

hopefully they will stay ok in future updates too

So I've gone laboriously through this thread and many other sites like Reddit where this issue crops up. I am utterly at a loss as to how to resolve this.

I'm using an iPhone 6s, running 11.3 (which supposedly corrected this problem from 11.2).

However: I literally cannot find Lyrics anywhere. It does NOT show up as an option when I do the whole mini-artwork-song-shows-up-in-pink-press-and-hold-on-the-song-title method described, and I updated to 11.3 when it was promptly released and it resolved nothing. Still no "Lyrics" showing up anywhere in my system. And yes, these are songs that have "Custom Lyrics" checked and lyrics populated for them on my desktop and laptop copies of iTunes. And yes, I am a signed-up user of the Apple Store with a working Apple ID and everything.

I think flat-out it's just stupidity on Apple's part at this point. Laziness in quality control. Other people talk about having to completely re-install their libraries and so forth and nobody should have to go through that just to have a feature that worked perfectly fine on older devices and OSes.

Why does this have to be so artificially complicated? Why not simply let us have lyrics for a song, and a lyrics button that is ALWAYS there right in the song-expanded view window, and it's greyed out if there are no lyrics but if you have them then you just click. No hunting around or guesswork or complete change of where it's hidden with every new release. Apple used to pride itself on consistency in its design philosophy and logic and intuitive ease-of-end-user experience. Did all that really die with Steve? Beginning to think so.

Tonight I'm downloading 11.4. So let's see if MAYBE Apple can fix something that wasn't broke in the first place until they 'upgraded' it.

Wonder of wonders! Lyrics is now restored and working with 11.4! And ALL the lyrics, not just newly-added songs put in since the update.

Now just have to wait until the next 'update' disappears them again. And then the one after that restores them but only in a super-secret-decoder-ring corner of the app, then the next one it'll be gone again...and then back with the next update...and again...and again...

I’ve found the lyrics are embedded still but only available by force touch in Album view.

This is truly frustrating.

Not a huge problem but completely backwards.

The only way I can get it to show lyrics is by pressing firmly (3D touch) on a song from the list then tapping lyrics in the poop up menu.

I want to mention that on my iPad mini 3, the lyrics do show and flawlessly.

On an iphone 5s no problem.

It's on my iphone SE ( 64 Gb) that it does not work.
