[iOS / Mobile] Add a persistent toggle to hide inline lyrics preview in the Now Playing layout

Current Behavior:

 

Spotify has recently introduced an automated "inline lyrics preview" directly onto the mobile Now Playing screen. This layout automatically pulls lines of real-time lyrics into the main screen space, significantly shrinking the primary display of album artwork.

 

While some accounts previously had a manual hide button tucked into the three-dot menu, recent server-side test layouts have removed this setting completely for affected test groups. This leaves users with absolutely no way to opt out of the live lyrics view if they prefer a clean, art-focused interface.

 

My Suggestion for Improvement:

 

Please add a dedicated, permanent toggle within Settings > Playback (or restore it to the context menu) that allows users to completely disable the inline lyrics preview on the player interface.

 

Turning this setting "Off" should:

1 Revert the album art container to its classic, full-size scale.

2 Hide the live text preview lines entirely from the primary display window.

3 Keep standard full-text lyrics accessible only if a user intentionally scrolls down below the main player interface.
