Why can't we drag to seek from the iPhone lock screen?

What I mean is why can't we drag the indicator showing where we are in the song from the lock screen, like we can for Apple's Music app? Is this Apple's policy? Spotify not considering it a priority? Something I have to fix on my end? Thanks for any info.

Hello @yesthisisjoe

Unfortunately this is an apple policy thing, for now, it is unfortunately an Apple Music exclusive on iOS 🙂

I hope this helped! 🙂

Is this still a limitation enforced by Apple? I've seen that the 3rd party podcast app, Overcast, has the ability to drag seek from the lockscreen.
