Some people find these controls annoying because it\u2019s easy to hit them by accident, playing (or stopping) media when you don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, you can\u2019t always turn off these controls. They will always appear when you\u2019re playing something from your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the technique listed below won\u2019t hide the regular iPhone lock screen media control panel. Hopefully, Apple will offer that as an option in the future. For now, we\u2019ve figured out a way to hide the AirPlay controls that pop up on your lock screen when someone uses a linked device.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Hide_iPhone_Lock_Screen_Playback_Controls\"><\/span>How to Hide iPhone Lock Screen Playback Controls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In your iPhone lock screen media control panel, tap the blue AirPlay icon located just to the right of the title of the media that\u2019s playing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-731038\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iphone_tap_airplay_icon.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the AirPlay menu that appears, tap \u201cControl Other Speakers &amp; TVs\u201d at the bottom of the devices list.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-731040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/control_other_speakers_and_tvs.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"In the iPhone AirPlay menu, tap &quot;Control Other Speakers &amp; TVs.&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the next menu that appears, tap \u201ciPhone\u201d at the top of your devices list.
