Show the artist's name on the lock screen

Show the artist's name on the lock screen

On the Android app currently, only 5 characters of the artist name are shown, and then three dots to show it continues of course. Honestly I would just appreciate an increase in this, showing 8 characters and no dots would be helpful. I think the best version would show the full artist name (and even features) all the time, slightly less good would be having a word wrap animation, but I really don't want to have to fully unlock my phone just to see who the song is by, I'm just enjoying finding new music and want to quickly check the artist.

Hey @MoneyJ,

 

Thanks for posting on the Community! We've moved your post to our Help section as it fits better here, hope you don't mind.

 

The details displayed on the lock screen are usually related to the device's settings. The current OS version, as well as the phone's theme, can also affect how it appears. It's worth having a look through the settings and try another theme (if possible), to see if you notice any difference.

 

Hope this clears things up! Cheers.
