Hi
Here are a few reasons why Deezer might not be showing on the Lock Screen of your iPhone 11. Here are some of the most common ones:
• You may not have enabled the Deezer widget on your Lock Screen. To do this, open the Deezer app, tap on the More tab, and then tap on Widgets. Select the Now Playing widget and then drag it to the Lock Screen.
• You may have disabled notifications for Deezer. To check this, go to Settings > Notifications > Deezer. Make sure that the Allow Notifications toggle is turned on.
• There may be a problem with the Deezer app. Try restarting your iPhone or reinstalling the Deezer app.
If you've tried all of these things and Deezer is still not showing on the Lock Screen, you may need to contact Deezer support for further assistance.

Hi,
Is there a solution already for this issue. I’ve been using Deezer since 2016 on various iPhone models. The widget would always show on Lock Screen. Since almost an year now, it doesn’t appear while the songs are playing in background so you can’t skip tracks, pause tracks or have any info on the song being played. Currently using it on iPhone 11 with the Deezer app updated, all notifications allowed and have also allowed it from app management in the phone.

Hello Deezer. I see this problem exists for more then two years now. On google I saw the problem is because of the newer Android versions do not support it.
Can you ask your experts for a solution? This discusion is going on for to long now? Reinstalling, settings by notifications etc doesn't work.

Hi. It’s always been like that, right from the beginning.
When I connect with wireless earbuds or headphones I can see the controls, although even then not always.
They disappear only when connected with AUX cable or on speaker.
deezer version 6.2.4.98
android version 10

Hi, I reinstalled the app, but now when I listen to music, the fixed notification which has the player control buttons does not appear. I have to start the app so control the music.
Who can I enable this feature?

In the last few months of using the app, the lock screen widget hasn’t been showing when music is playing and therefore I cannot skip tracks or see the track or pause using my headphones. I have deleted and reinstalled, updated my phone and app to the latest version, turned on notifications and even changed phone in this time from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 11 and the issue has persisted!! Any help?
