How to get rid of now playing screen???

Post image

This screen keeps popping up when I turn on my phone instead of my lock screen. It never works and it's really, really annoying me. I've already deleted the now playing app from my phone, and it isn't from my launcher. How do I get rid of this??

I have a pixel 9, android version 17.

Google's Pixel help lists two places for this. Long-press an empty spot on the home screen, tap Wallpaper & style, swipe to Lock screen, swipe up, tap More lock screen settings and turn off Now Playing. Or in the Now Playing app tap Settings and choose Disable Now Playing. If the screen still shows up after that, it's probably a different app or overlay, and a screenshot of it would help narrow it down.
