Why does music stay on the lock screen

For me, adjusting the Notifications did NOT work, what worked was removing and re-installing Pandora. No issues since then, it does not auto start anything until asked to do so by the Bluetooth linked device, and if I have Pandora open on my phone, it goes right back to the same song. Only shows in the lock screen when they're actively playing.

I’ve worked with consumer electronics companies for 20+ years and during all 20 of those years, turning the **** thing off and back on again resolves 90% of problems. It’s just the nature of the beast. 😂

I did that (deleted Apple Music app) about a week or 10 days ago. And now it is back, even with the app deleted. It shows the same thing on the lock screen but says “an app was trying to use a music player please reinstall.”

The issue only comes up after connecting to an external audio device via Bluetooth. It happens even if the music app is not running in the background. The only solution that works, until the bug is fixed by apple that is, is to restart the iphone.

Did you ever get a solution to this question about why music control stays on the lock screen? I skimmed thru it all but didn’t see one. I went to ‘Control Center’ - customize to see if there’s something I could delete from appearing in the swipe up but don’t see “music” per se. wondering what “accessibility shortcuts” is

Mine started doing this after my last update. It did not do this before but now it won't go away. It doesn't matter whether or not I've had it plugged into an external audio source or bluetooth. It's just there....ALL THE TIME!!😠

I feel your pain. I want the music permanently on the lock-screen and it won't stay there! Apple has got to do something to keep it there permanently

Same problem here, searching for fix besides restarting phone

Until you use Bluetooth headphones again

I get the same thing. It is super annoying. I have updated everything and it will not stop.

That is a temporary fix as issue will reappear next time phone is connected via Bluetooth to an external audio source (such as car stereo)

Having the exact same issue. I’ve tried everything I can think of. Any solutions yet?

I am also having the same issue. Restarting the phone should not be a “fix”. I can see if i left the app open, but if i close it, close the controls

So every time I use Pandora (what starts this issue), you are telling me I have to do a soft reset of my phone?!? That’s a bit ridiculous.

I went to general and reset the network settings.. It worked for me.
