Lock screen widgets

[Sion Jones]

Hey guys, first post on here. Just received the lollipop update (about time!) Loving the new layout etc.

Only thing I've noticed is that the lock screen widgets have disappeared? I used to use the music player widget a lot, and now it displays what track I'm listening too and a play and next button. But no back button? Quite annoying to unlock the phone etc to go back to a track you may have mistakenly skipped.

Am I missing something here? Are they still there? Also new smart lock is pretty nifty.

Cheers

Welcome to Android Central! KitKat lockscreens and their widgets went away in Lollipop, replaced by lockscreen notifications. When you see the Play Music lockscreen notification "widget," at first there will only be pause and next track. But if you swipe down once, you'll see that the widget expands to include a previous track button; you'll also see your other notifications expand to include more information.
