Can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of the music player on the lock screen. Even with no music playing it’s there. Anyone else seeing this? http://tinypic.com/r/10ghbgh/9
Music widget permanently on lock screen?
Closing the Music app will remove it from the Lock Screen.
More Testing
If you lock it with the Music app open, then it will show when you go to unlock the iPad.
Any media app open + most recently played when you locked the screen will show up as a Lock Screen Notification. E.g., if you have Pandora and Netflix open it will show the notification of the app that was last played before it locked.
Turning off the app Lock Screen notification in Settings >Notifications>[app], does not remove it from the Lock Screen😟
I assume this is working as Apple intended, and not a bug, but I would like to have the choice to keep it turned off.
I have no suggestions turned on, no notifications, no nothing. The player app doesn't show when no bluetooth audio devices are connected, but does always appear on the lock screen when a bluetooth audio device is connecting when I open the iPad. On my iPhone, the music app isn't even included in the list of 'included controls', but always shown. It's not a feature, it's a total nuisance.
I think I have a solution (it worked for me at least).
Try this:
"Settings"
"TouchID&Passcode" (enter your passcode)
Scroll down to "Today View"
Turn the lever/switch to "off"
Close settings
Lock screen
Hope this works for you folks. I was glad I did not have to "reset all settings" as Apple Tech Support suggested.

Settings.
Siri and Search.
Under “Siri Suggestions”, uncheck everything(turn everything off- no green showing).
Then scroll down and find the Music icon.
Under “On Home Screen”, uncheck everything
No reason to pay to be annoyed.
I've tried this about a dozen times now & every time it has worked perfectly for me. I simply shut off WiFi from the Settings app, not the Control Center & leave it off for about 5 minutes & when I turn it back on, the lockscreen music player widget is gone. I've even watched as the widget simply disappeared from the lockscreen.
I'm guessing that there is a timeout limit and since WiFi is off & no connection can be found to an AirPlay device, it simply times out & disappears. I've experimented with shorter time lengths, but 5 minutes or more seems to be the magic number for me.
I know this is still not a real solution & it's still a slight nuisance, but, at least for now, I think we have a temporary fix.
Please let me know if this "solution" works for you guys as well. Enjoy!
Is anyone else having an issue with Apple Music saying it’s playing on the setting page?? (Like the page you go to turn wifi on without going into settings) It’s super annoying for a person with OCD to open music just to close it to get rid of the thing. It never did it with Spotify. And it will pop up there hours from the app being shut Off…. And hard and soft booting it doesn’t help. Ugh.
hey! the answer to your question is not what you think. it actually has to do with siri and search. and this allows it to stay on your lock screen! just go to siri and turn it off.
I removed the app Music and restart iPhone.
iPhone 13 ProMax: Settings...Podcasts...Notification...De-select Lock Screen... Show Previews (NEVER)... done
Go to settings>notifications>scroll down to music and tap on it>scroll down to the bottom where it says show previews>click on that and set it to “Never”
I am not a fan of Apple, and just started using it with iPhone 6S for office purposes. I was having the same issue. Here's what I did: Firstly, closed all the running apps from the background by double tapping the home button and then swiping up. Secondaly, opened Safari, and closed all the running Tabs, and then closed Safari by following the step 1 again. Last and final step, opened the Music app, and fully closed it again. And that's all. The Music Widget is now magically gone from my lockscreen. I hope that it works for other people too!
Happened last night (1-31-2022) not sure what I clicked on, but the widget is on the Lock Screen and I cannot get rid of it.
I do not WANT to download the Music App, I do not use it.
I know how to get rid of it! You go into YouTube and click on any video. Pause the video after you click on it. Close the YouTube app completely, and it should be gone. Worked for me 😊
