Quick panel media player

[markylaud]

How do I get media player back when pull down the quick panel like on my old Samsung phone. Now I need to press a button to access media which adds an extra step I don't want which is really annoying. I just want to pull down quick panel and pause or play my media again. Does anyone know how to get this back.

Hi, @markylaud. 

When swiping down from the top-right hand corner, you should be presented with the option to "Play music". This will then prompt you to open your selected music streaming application.

Alongside this, any media that is currently playing on the phone should also have the Media player within the control centre. 

I hope that this helps!

That doesn't help as I have it on the together option so it doesn't matter where I pull the quick panel down from right or left its the same. On my old Samsung when I pulled it down it came up the media playing with options to play or pause. This doesn't happen now for some reason and I want to know how to get it back

OK, I see. 

Are you able to please share a screenshot of what you can currently see? 

Thanks,

That's what I see when I pull it down. My podcast is playing but there's no controls there for it like. On my old Samsung it showed the podcast playing with play pause controls

If you swipe down twice, there is an edit button that looks like a pencil tap. It select device control
You could try uninstalling Samsung music then installing might reset it

Are there any plans to fix this? Seems like a big oversight

+1 SAME ISSUE! Samsung, please make this feature optional and allow us to go back. The media player belongs in the notification sections, both while swiping down and on the lock screen as well!

- If you are playing media, you basically need to do 2 swipes down to get into the media management, and then 3 swipes up to get back to you where you were. This is a dealbreaker if you're a heavy media user.

- on the lock screen the "now" bar is tiny. i much rather prefer the full notifcation for the media which also had space to show the album art in the background, with quick actions like liking the song etc

+1! Media control in OneUI 6 was a lot better, new one just ruins the experience of using S25 series. Like other said, now users are forced to do two swipes to change song or pause it, which is nonsense... Samsung, please give users a choice and make new media control optional!

Can't believe they made one of the most used and important features of a smartphone, playing music, more inconvenient. For the life of me I can't figure out why they would ever do this...
