Audio widget at bottom of iPhone lock screen

Just got iPhone 14 Pro and it's all updated. Why is the audio playing widget at the bottom of the lock screen? How can I get it back to the middle like it was with previous iOS?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

minimize full screen music control on lockscreen I just upgraded to iOS 16.2 on my iphone 12mini. If I'm playing a podcast, the app takes over my lock screen hiding the wall paper. It is absolutely obnoxious. Is there any way to minimize the podcast/music controls on the lock screen in iOS 16.2.
