How The Full Screen Music Player Works
When the full-screen music player is enabled on the Lock Screen, the album art fills the empty space and serves as a placeholder for the iPhone's Lock Screen wallpaper. Any changes to the Lock Screen's clock font will remain, but widgets and wallpapers will disappear when the full-screen music player is opened. Like the native Music app, the area surrounding the album art is filled with a gradient that is color-matched to the cover of the album or song. There is no way to permanently set an album cover as an iPhone wallpaper all the time. Instead, music must be playing in order to have full-screen album art as the device's wallpaper.
The full-screen player works best when there are no new notifications visible on the Lock Screen.

To close the widget, tap on the empty space surrounding it. Tapping on the album art of the mini visualizer will open the app where the song is being played.
