Spotify controls no longer showing on lock screen

[FortressButress]

On my lock screen, the Spotify controls no longer appear as a permanent notification while music is playing. They are still present when I expand the notification bar on an unlocked phone, however.

I have tried closing and reopening the app, logging out and in, and also uninstall/reinstall.

All Spotify notifications are enabled in-app and in Android settings both (Settings > Lock Screen > Notifications) and  (Settings > Apps > Spotify > Notifications).

Attached image is what I see when I expand the notification bar while music is paused, and what I would expect to see on the lock screen.

I suspect this has something to do with a recent Android update which changed Samsung's "OneUI."

Info:

Samsung Galaxy S20FE 5G

OneUI version 4

Android version 12

Spotify app version 8.7.4.1056

I've been having a lot of troubles wjth this too after updating my Phone (S10 5G) and started going through every possible setting to find out what to do ti fix it. Everything on this current thread had no help so I went back to looking.

I decided to go into the; SETTINGS - APPS - SPOTIFY - NOTIFICATIONS - NOTIFICATION CATEGORIES - PLAYBACK(Turn on this setting) 

My playback setting was somehow off, I turned it on, started playing music and then started receiving the controls at the top of my regular notifications bar, and the controls on the lock screen too.

I hope this works for the rest of you. 🙂

I use a Samsung Galaxy S10+ too and this worked for me. Thank you so much for this, I can finally control my music with my screen locked.

Hyper OS and Widget Bug is still alive. No skip Option on lockscreen. Already did everything what the Support wants me to do. Discusting.

Not sure if anyone has said this one. For my s25 I had to go to the LIVE notifications specifically. Had to find it in the Now Bar. Once I turned that on for media player and it fixed the issue

Took me alot to figure this out lol, go to lock screen and aod, then view more, then tap media player.

hope this helps!!
