It is no longer possible to scrub through a track when playing music in the Music app on iOS 16. I have to lock the screen of the iPhone in order to get to the scrub bar. If you're a developer, can we get this fixed? Leaving the app in order to control the app is horrible UX

Not really a feature request. It is functionality that was lost.
See this screenshot for releases under iOS 16 where the scrubbing bar was clearly available inside the Music app.
There is no playhead in iOS 16!
Actually the issue is that the “Playing Next” button was selected. issue resolved.
Hello hrvxla,
Glad to hear you found a resolution! Thanks for letting us know.
Kind regards.
