Doug, I don’t know of any easier way to clear the playback queue. Some apps like Blind Square use this audio channel, but when it closes, it leafes it blank. Another messy solution… Dave Carlson Woodworker, Musician, Oregonian, Engineer, Farfar dgcarlson0...@gmail.com On Nov 24, 2023, at

Ah, good to know without making a mess to find out. :) Last question then: Is there an easier way to clear the playback controls from the lock screen? Currently I load and then close the Music app to get that done. On Fri, Nov 24, 2023 at 07:11:12PM -0800, Dave Carlson wrote: Doug, No.

Do you know if any possible good for me, or bad, would come from my deleting the Music app? That was my only guess before asking, but I haven't tried that yet and I also have never had reason to check what happens if I later want it back, unlikely though that probably is. On Fri, Nov 24, 2023

Kind of you to answer, and quickly indeed. I forgot the name "magic tap" somehow, but I do know it is a multi-function gesture. But my actual question is, can I somehow remove from its set of active functions the activation of the Music app and its controls, which happens even if I have no

Hi, The two finger gesture you are referring to is known as a magic tap. The reason for this is that it does several things. It will answer or hang up a call, it will start and stop dictation, and it will start and stop media from playing. If you want to use it for dictation you will need to
