The "Now Playing- you can now swipe up to access Repeat, Shuffle, and Up Next." message comes up every time I open the music app and won't go away, nor does it give you an option to get off the message. Tried rebooting the phone, turning it off and on, deleting the app and reinstalling it, messing with the control center. NOTHING is working to fix the problem.
iPhone SE, iOS 11.4
I ran into this and solved it.
The issue is the message has a "Got It" at the bottom that you can click to dismiss. But if you have "larger text" set in accessibility, you can't see it as it's off the screen and you can't move the notification box to get to it.
I ran into this setting up a brand new ipod for an elderly person with sight problems and had turned on this accessibility feature before trying to use the ipod.
To solve, I turned off Larger Text in Accessibility and rebooted the ipod. Went back into the Music and flipped through some songs to get this notification to come up again and when it did, I was able to choose "Got It" and dismiss it.
Now Playing message won't go away
