How To Fix YouTube Music Live Lyrics Not Showing On Mobile?
To fix YouTube Music live lyrics not showing on your mobile device (both Android and iPhone), follow these troubleshooting steps:
Sign Out & Sign Back In: Sometimes authentication issues can prevent lyrics from appearing. Sign out of the YouTube Music app and sign back in.
- Android: Open the app, go to your profile > Manage accounts > Remove account > Reinstall the app if necessary.
- iPhone: Open the app, switch accounts > Remove from this device > Reinstall the app if necessary.
Check Internet Connection: Ensure your device is connected to the internet; lyrics require an active connection unless you're using downloaded songs with a YouTube Music Premium subscription.
Clear App Cache: Clear the app cache to refresh the data stored by the app.
- Android: Long-press the YouTube Music app icon > Info icon > Storage & Cache > Clear Cache.
- iPhone: Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > YouTube Music > Offload App > Reinstall the app.
Update the App: Make sure you're running the latest version of the YouTube Music app. An outdated version might cause issues.
Check Server Status: Visit websites like Downdetector to ensure YouTube Music's servers are operational. Third-party lyric providers can also affect lyrics functionality.
Erratically Scrolling Lyrics: Some users have reported erratic scrolling issues with live lyrics. Restarting the song or checking for updates might help. If the issue persists, consider reporting it through the app's feedback feature.
Check for Song Availability: Not all songs in YouTube Music's library have lyrics available. Try playing different songs to confirm if the issue is specific to certain tracks.
Static Lyrics: If you prefer static lyrics, there's currently no option to disable live lyrics. However, you can switch to the Lyrics tab and manually scroll through the lyrics as needed.
Clear Browser Cache (Desktop Only): If you're experiencing issues on a desktop browser, clear the browser cache and try again.
Remember to check for updates and report any persistent issues through the app's feedback feature to help improve the service.
