How to get Music off iPhone lock screen

While your music is playing through Bluetooth. It’s going to appear on the lock screen. Once you pause or close the app it clears out.

Ok!! I have tried everything and at best, got only a

temporary fix. Rebooting the phone will work, but it comes back as soon as it’s connected to my car’s Bluetooth

Sooo.., here’s what I did. Go to both Bluetooth devices and start from scratch. In other words, forget both devices and re-pair.

So far this has worked. Will keep everyone posted ... fingers crossed!

The first step in this youtube video did the trick for me.

How to remove Music Player from the lock screen on iPhone in iOS 11 - YouTube

This recently happened to me on my iPhone running iOS 11.2.5. The solution was easy, but took awhile to discover. I went to setttings, then scrolled down and selected the Music app. On that screen, I de-selected “show Apple Music”. That did the trick and Music is no longer dominating my lock screen.

It is very simple - It worked for me after months of frustrations

1 - At your home screen, click the gear icon to visit device settings.

2 - Then what you have to do is open the notifications tab.

3 - You have to find and click on Music and slide the notification toggle to disable it.

4 - MUST ----- Restart your iPhone after doing so and the music app lock screen problem should be fixed easily.

Found the above solution from the following site

https://www.imobie.com/support/fix-iphone-music-app-pops-up-on-lock-screen.htm

• Open the music application.
• Double click the home button and then close it from multitask.
• Then switch off your device and switch on after a few seconds.

This worked for me. 🙂

I have lost who posted the solution.🙌

It’s settings📐: notifications, 📯turn off for music.✅

SOLVED: Go to Settings --> Notifications. Turn off the Music App's Notifications in Settings

NEXT: Reboot your phone (pressing the home and power button together)

RESULTS: Problem solved

I have used all the techniques in the YouTube video. I don’t even have Touch ID or a passcode enabled. When I turn on my car, it connects via Bluetooth, and when I disconnect the widget stays on my lock screen (forever and ever). The only fix is to restart my phone, which is highly annoying and totally unreasonable in my opinion. I hope Apple finds a true fix for this one.

settings>face ID & Passcode - allow when locked is near the bottom, turn off control center to see if that helps.

Go to Settings, Notifications, Music and turn off Badge App Icon

This video is the perfect answer to my problem, I recommend everyone watch it. I have my Music lock screen image removed now, and so I can see my beautiful puppy, instead. It is too bad Apple doesn't provide this information for us, and we had to go to YouTube for it. I wasted twenty minutes of my time going through their discussions site looking for a solution before findings this excellent response.

Thank you, Uddhabay!

SOLVED - Yes, you are right. As soon as I "upgraded" to 11.2.6 the music widget was back. But I think though I have the answer now.

Go to settings>Face ID & Passcode - Go to "Allow Access when when locked" which is near the bottom and turn off 3 things - Today view, Control Centre and Reply with Message. It shows up if music is playing but disappears if the music is paused but only when it is paused when the phone is unlocked.

If this fails turn off Home Control as well.

I think that this is an Apple glitch.

I didn't want other alerts or control center turned off.

Try this:

At lock screen, turn volume all the way up.

Then hold power button + turn volume all the way down.

Slide power off to restart.

I have tried everything that YouTube video showed, and everything all these users have mentioned, nothing works. I’ve restarted my phone multiple times and it still comes back. It’s extremely annoying, does anyone know if Apple is aware of this glitch?
