Takes over full lockscreen - can't unlock!

Takes over full lockscreen - can't unlock!

The Spotify Android app puts its artwork all over the lockscreen on my Samsung S4 Mini. I have poor vision, and with the artwork there I can't see the keypad to unlock the phone. That means I can't use the phone or even stop Spotify - my only solution is to remove and replace the phone battery. Presumably there's a way to stop this behaviour (none ofbthe charities for the visually impaired seem to have launched a class action lawsuit!) but I can't find it. How do I stop Spotify coming up on the lockscreen (or at least limit it to an area away from the keypad)?

Unfortunately there's no way to block it updating the stock lock screen, however you can install a lock screen from the Play Store which will allow more customisation as well as the ability to stop it being updated 🙂
