If you look at the Lock Screen’s Now Playing media interface on an iOS 16 device beside an iOS 15 device, then you should notice some aesthetic differences.
If you’re looking for a great way to enhance your jailbroken iPhone’s Now Playing music experience, then we invite you to feast your eyes on the free NowPlayingIconXVI jailbreak tweak by iOS developer ETHN.
HomePod is a cute little device for listening to music. However, due to the lack of a screen, you can't see what song is currently playing on it. But that doesn't mean you're deprived of the important Now Playing information. In this tutorial, we will tell you four easy ways to find what's playing on your HomePod.
Whenever you start listening to media on your iPhone or iPad, you’re presented with a convenient Now Playing widget on the Lock Screen and in Notification Center so that you can control playback without having to visit the playback app.

Many jailbreakers are perfectly fine with the way their iPhone functions, but they simply want to make it look different than it does out of the box. If that sounds like you, then you might enjoy using a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Vide by iOS developer Xyaman.
Noticeably absent from the plethora of Home Screen widgets offered out of the box by iOS 14 is one for music and Now Playing content.
Given just how much emphasis Apple places on music consumption with regard to its platforms, this seemed like an odd decision on the company’s part.
