Is it possible to "rewind" and "fast forward" media from the lock-screen?

[11derf]

I've just moved from iPhone to Android, and I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to change the lock-screen playback options so that they include "rewind" and "fast forward". I'd also like to be able to see where I am in each track without having to unlock the phone, if possible.

At the moment I can only start/stop and skip backwards or forwards from the lock-screen. If I want to rewind, or if I want to skip ahead a few seconds, I have to unlock the phone and go into the media player itself. Can I change that?

Ideally I'd like something similar to the iPhone set up, which allows you to rewind 15 seconds and fast forward 30 seconds from the lock-screen, while also showing where you are in the track. Is that possible on Android?

I listen to a lot of audio-books and podcasts, and doing this has become second nature to me. I'm using BBC Sounds and Google Podcasts on a Samsung A50. Thanks.

So you want something like this? You'll have to trust that it's from my lock screen. This is on a pixel 2 XL running Android 10. I see now that it's missing the skip forward/back a specified time part of the request, the Podcasts app from Google allows that...

I believe it would be up to the phone and media app that allows that

Sorry I think actually that I've answered my own question - those "skip" buttons, which I though were to change tracks, actually rewind and forward podcasts a few seconds.

Hallux, how do you get the bar showing that displays how much of the track has played? Is it a notifications setting?

If you look in the top right corner of that notification you'll see the ^. That's normally inverted and can be tapped to expand the notification.

To get the progress bar, you need to be running Android 10. Right now the only devices with 10 are Pixels and One Plus 7, but if you're on a Samsung device, it'll get it...eventually. Can't speak to how soon though.
