Stop the Music Widget From Staying on the Lock Screen (Auto-hiding):
If your main issue is that the widget lingers on the Lock Screen, do this:
Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Allow Access When Locked → TURN OFF "Today View & Search"
This shrinks your Lock Screen UI so music is less intrusive and disappears faster.
Does NOT fully remove it, but dramatically reduces how often it stays stuck.
