Custom lyrics not showing iOS 11.2

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.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 11.2

I noticed this issue too and I am furious about it. The only reason I still use iTunes is because it allows me to add custom lyrics for offline viewing. Why on earth would they get rid of this? Hopefully this is a bug or something.

I will delete my music from my phone and reload it to see if that does the trick. I’ll update you guys.

Update 1: not even deleting and re-adding my music and restarting my iPhone brings up the ability to see lyrics. So I’m EXCEEDINGLY ANGRY 😡 with Apple right now. I may as well go to Android cause there is no difference in their music apps now.

Update 2: I found out how to show lyrics after throughly messing with the music app. You have to 3D Touch the song to play it and the option to show lyrics will be in the drop down menu. A VERY STUPID DESIGN in my opinion.

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


good luck all.
