Now Bar Media Remaining expanded on AOD after unlock.

[Ocaji]

Now Bar expanded media player should remain that way on the Always On Display when you unlock directly to the media app instead of collapsing back into the bar once you turn your phone off and go back to check what you're listening to in AOD. 

As an avid music listener, I like being able to see the album artwork, song and artist name quickly, especially when listening to new music on the go.

I believe it already performs that function.

I know it stays open when you power off at the lockscreen but what im saying is if its the last thing on the lock screen before unlocking into the app, it would only make sense for the lockscreen/aod to continue to show this when you power on again, but it doesn't happen

Like if the media player's closed? (YouTube Music being closed from the recent apps menu/task switcher.)

Similar to the media player accessible via the quick settings?

The gist of what im saying is I think the little nowbar pill on aod is useless in terms of communicating your current tracks information. You can't see the artist name or album cover like you could on One UI 6.

Full cover art on lockscreen is a major improvement over the mid crop we get in the quick settings. I just wish we could see the full player more often. It's hard to experience often when the mini pill is the default. I just want it to stay open.

I don't ever check notifications on the lock screen anyway, some people don't even have them on, why would I turn on my phone just to look at wallpaper

[Aztec246]

My apologies.

I only want to be crystal clear for if the moderators ever consider this, can't have any misunderstandings
