Apple
has added music control in the control center since releases of iOS 11 for
iPhone and it gives user access to easily control the music play. The music
control app in the control center is in fixed place and user doesn’t have
option to hide or remove it from the control center. It is also accessible from
the lock screen if you have allowed access from lock screen.
This
may be good feature in many cases to put music control in control center but
for many iPhone users this is annoying and unwanted. As accidental touch can
cause music running to stop or start unintentionally. Eg If my iphone is in my pocket and I get a
notification the screen lights up, music is there and now while in pocket it
might get a touch on music widget and can make music go random actions.
This is
annoying for music, but when listening to an audio books with hour long tracks
this is very annoying indeed. But there
doesn't seem like there's a way to remove the music widget from the iPhone
control center screen but there are some workaround you can use to avoid any inconvenience
due to this feature.
Solution
1: Turn off the Raise to wake
Turn
off raise to wake feature in your iPhone and this will not turn on the screen
now and then in your pocket causing accidental touch.
Solution
2: Turn of DND mode
The
one other thing that you can try, which affects somewhat more than just this,
but you can use DND while you are listening to something so that notifications
don't turn on your screen.
Solution
3: turn off lock screen Notifications
Another
tweak is to turn off lock screen Notifications. Should "silence" the
lock screen other than phone calls.
