How to get Music off iPhone lock screen

I have a IPhone X. Yesterday, all of a sudden, the widget for Apple Music began appearing on the lock screen. It takes up most of the lock screen so new notifications are pushed down and barely visible without scrolling. I cannot figure out how to remove the widget from the lock screen. Any help would be appreciated.

That's the theory but it does not go away when you stop playing music. That's why everyone is complaining.


It stays there until you restart the phone. I have an iPhone X and this problem emerged after about 2 updates ago. Apple now uses us as its beta testers. As a result these boards are full of complaints about weird and stupid bugs like this one.

Finally found perm fix. Settings > General > scroll to the bottom and choose 'Reset' > choose the very top one 'Reset all Settings'. Make sure you DON'T choose 'Erase all content and settings.


Afterwards you will have to reset your wallpaper on your phone but otherwise should work fine. I have been in my car where my Bluetooth connects, etc. and the widget has not reappeared on my screen.


Good luck!
