Hello, I've had the Pandora app for years and I've always had a "now playing" type banner in my status bar of my phone and my lock screen. I recently deleted and reinstalled Pandora and now that is gone and I can't figure out how to add it back. Any help? I have an LG thinq8 phone. Thank you!

Hey, @Bjohnson81!
Have you tried checking your lock screen preferences on your device?
I would recommend visiting your lock screen preference settings, and make sure you have notifications set to โShow all notification content" for Pandora.
Let me know if this helps! ๐ฒ

- I have the LG G7 and your suggestion is not available. Is there another way to get the lock screen now playing back on my phone?

Mine was doing this as well. I checked for a software update on my Samsung S21 and after installing it, that fixed the problem

I have a Samsung Galaxy A42 5G and after a recent Samsung update the banner stopped for me as well. Very annoying.
Located this thread and followed the guidance to enable notifications for the app in the system menu, shut down Pandora and restarted the app - locked the phone and there it was!! Banner back baby. Thank you.

How can you do it ONLY for Pandora. I only see options to allow all notifications or none. I don't want text and email on my lock screen, but I really miss the music player for Pandora on there. Pixel 6Pro here. Thanks!

Hey, @Starks76. ๐
Thanks for posting about this.
I would recommend visiting your lock screen preference settings, and make sure you have notifications set to โShow all notification content" for Pandora.
Also, widgets will disappear and become inoperable if installed to the SD card. You will need to keep the app installed to the phone's local memory and the widget should work fine.
Let me know how it goes. ๐ง

I don't see a place to set all notifications for JUST Pandora. I don't really want notifications from anything else showing on my lock screen ...

I've had Pandora for a while now and it use to be on my lock screen. My phone has the always on display so I could just tap it once and it would let me skip or pause songs. Well sometime last year it disappeared and I can't get it back. I've gone through my settings on both my phone and the app. I'm at a loss on why it's not there anymore. Any help would be great.

Hey there, @amburrentsak. ๐
I moved your post over to this existing thread: Android: Now Playing Lock Screen Display
Also, widgets will disappear and become inoperable if installed to the SD card. You will need to keep the app installed to the phone's local memory and the widget should work fine.
I would recommend visiting your lock screen preference settings, and make sure you have notifications set to โShow all notification content" for Pandora.
Could you check lock screen setting to see if your widget has music enabled?
This may have turned off when your phone updated to Android 12.
Go to Settings > Lock Screen > Widgets has Music Enabled
For Pandora, please make sure both "App Notifications" and "App Icon Badges" are enabled for the app.
I hope this information is helpful. ๐ง
