Stop suggesting audio on home/lock when connected to AirPods

As of the most recent IOS update (16.1) I've started seeing suggestions on the home and Lock Screen to play podcasts or music whenever my AirPods are connected. I've turned off siri suggestions for these apps but the big banner with a play button still shows up. How can I disable this "feature"?

How can you stop your AirPods from stop playing music when you talk? I like the feature of the AirPods lowering the music when you talk. Though if you are singing to the song it will lower the music. Is there a way to stop the music from lowering? I would assume it would have no idea if you are having a conversation or singing to the song?

How to stop AirPods Pro from auto playing Spotify when connected Hi, how do I turn off auto play on Spotify when connecting my AirPods Pro? Solutions I’ve read suggest turning of auto ear detection but this feels like a workaround and not a long term solution as I’d still like auto ear detection when I decide to play music and remove an AirPod but not for music to start playing as soon as I connect them?

Stop Apple Music from opening when pressing the stem buttons on AirPods Pro Has anyone found a way to stop Apple Music from opening whenever you accidentally press the stem buttons on the AirPods? When you press on the left or right stem of the AirPods the Music app opens up. This also happens when you first put in the AirPods and accidentally press the stem while you are fitting the pods in your ears. There are a few online discussions about this issue but no answers have been given so far. If I open the AirPods Pro settings, under the actions for "Press and hold" there is no option for "Music". The only options are "Noise Control" or "Siri". So where is the setting that says Apple Music should open when you press any of the stem buttons? There is no such setting in the Music app settings either. EDIT: This is on macOS Ventura. I posted this under iPhone for some reason, sorry. Perhaps someone can move the discussion under a better topic.

Thanks for reaching out Apple_pro11,

It sounds like you're trying to remove the audio controls display on your iPhone. We can help.

This is an expected behavior of iOS 16. If you'd like to share some feedback with Apple, you can submit Product Feedback.

Hope that helps.

Take care.
