After
upgrading to new iOS 11 many iPhone users are finding iOS 11 music player on
lock screen. However some users don’t find this valuable as they don’t use
music player much and want to see notification instead of it. ios 11 music
controls on lock screen is taking space on the screen and taking up valuable
space.
The issue is strange as every one of apps is closed and it still shows
the music controls on the lock screen. When you turn off the music app, you
should get rid of that widget from the lock screen of your iPhone or iPad. But
of late, people have complained that music player widget keeps pestering them
as it doesn’t disappear even after turning off the app. ios 11 music widget
stays on the lock screen.
A quick
fix for the issue is to close your music app and restart the iPhone. Touch and
hold the icon until it vibrates and an "x" appears in upper left
corner. Click on that x and the "Delete" option that appears.
Now
reboot your iPhone/iPad the issue should be fix and iOS 11 music controls on
lock screen should disappear.
How to remove the music player from the lock screen in iOS 11 :
On your
iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Music and turn off “Show Apple Music”. Than Go
to Settings-Music- Turn off Show Apple Music - then restart your phone. This may help tp fix the issue until the phone connects to car or wireless headphones again. For
many users this happens to me whenever
turn on Apple TV from IPhone 7 or
iPhone 8. This seems to be a Bluetooth bug in iOS11. Any bluetooth media app
will trigger this to occur.
The
latest update does NOT fix this bug, and it is ABSOLUTELY a bug. Any bluetooth interaction causes "iphone
music" to appear on the lock screen even if NO apps are running
whatsoever. iOS is completely riddled with
bugs.
Hopefully
Apple sees this issue and provide any fix in upcoming release of iOS as this is
very annoying issue for many users who keep on checking notification for many
reasons.

The only solution so far is 1. Restarting your phone 20 times a day (or every time you listen to music) or 2. Not listen to music at all.
I hope Apple can fix this because it's really annoying, especially when I have other notifications that I need to check on and the stupid huge music app is locked in my screen.
Appreciate the help!
and my personal iPhones for many years.
This annoying icon blocks my favorite picture of my granddaughter.
Apple, get your act together!!!
A temporary fix until you use your Bluetooth again is unacceptable.
Your “engineers” should be ashamed of their mistake.
Perhaps you could fix it soon!!??
