Music controls not working during activity

for some reason on 5x plus the music controls don’t work in the data screen for music during an activity. It just says start music on iphone but it’s already playing!

If I select the top left button and music controls, those work.

any ideas?
  • It seems like top left button (the carrousel option like I call it) is working better than other option.
    Look at my flashlight issues. I only use music controls through it and not from the widget. I will try it.


    Edit: I have tried it and the widget works perfectly when I'm on activity.
