Screenshot from phone in attached jpg.

Note that the Next/Previous button is the same size as the text.
Thats atleast 8x smaller than previous design.

The Next/Previous are 2,45mm in with/height, The "heart" button is closer to 3mm, Play/pause is closer to 7mm.

Hey @Bajotaz,

Thanks for reaching out.

Can you please let us know if this happened after a system update? Are you using any custom themes for your device? Is it possible to check if this happens with other audio/video apps on your device that show the controls on your lockscreen?

Keep us posted.

Hi.

No custom themes, no "extra settings".
It came with Android 13 update.

No other apps affected.
