Keep the player in the notch when music is paused

Choose how long the paused music player stays in the notch, and change the progress bar color, artwork effect and player buttons.

Checked against the app on

When you pause

By default, the player stays in the notch for 5 seconds after you pause, then the notch closes. In Settings → Now Playing:

  • Close delay sets how long the paused player stays.
  • Without close timer keeps the paused player in the notch instead of closing it after the delay.

How the player looks

In the same section, under Player appearance:

  • Progress bar tint colors the progress bar and timer: Default (white), Artwork cover (taken from the album art) or System accent.
  • Artwork 3D effect flips the artwork in 3D when the song changes.
  • Hide favorite removes the favorite button.
  • Hide output device removes the speaker button.
