Possible to not show (remove) audio controls from lock screen when listening this podcasts / audio books, so I don’t accidentally jump forward/back?

I would like to be able to not show (remove) the audio controls from lock screen when I listen this podcasts / audio books, so I don’t accidentally stop or jump forward/back in the podcast or book when I put the phone back in the pocket. Isn’t it possible?

podcast fast forward slide bar on lock screen Does anyone know how to remove the fast forward/rewind slide bar from the Lock Screen? I feel like it didn’t used to be there and I accidentally fast forward or rewind a lot when putting my phone in my pocket or something. It’s too easy to move it around and I really don’t need to slide to fast forward from the actual Lock Screen.

iOS 16 How can I remove the audio widget from lockscreen? I keep accidentally moving forward in audiobooks and I lose my place How can I remove the audio widget from lockscreen? I keep accidentally touching ahead on the audio “timeline” and it skips me forward in my audio book. I don’t feel like it was this way before ios16. I know I could pause in ios15 versions but I don’t think I could touch on the timeline. I cannot seem to find a way to remove this.

How do you remove the audio controls from iOS lock screen? (BBC iPlayer, Apple Music, Spotify, etc) How can these controls be removed? The app in question is BBC Sounds, but these controls also appear with Apple Music, Spotify and likely any other audio app. The trouble is, these controls are permanently on the lock screen, evidently even when the phone is in my pocket. On numerous occasions now, I've gone to get something else out of the same pocket, touched the screen and ended up jumping to a totally different point of the show I'm listening too. Of course, as the phone is in my pocket, I can't see where I was to skip back to it, which is pretty infuriating... I've tried: Settings -> Face ID & Passcode -> Allow access when locked and turning everything off: The audio controls are still present Settings -> Notifications: there is no section for BBC Sounds, turning off for Apple Music made no difference In the BBC Sounds app itself, there's nothing it settings that would prevent this. Apple Music and Spotify do not appear to have settings sections within their apps. I'm on the latest iOS version, currently 17.5.1 I've tried removing widgets using this guide and this guide, but I don't think this is actually a widget.

Why don’t I get any responses, isn’t it possible or don’t you understand what I mean?
