Hi DCS folks
As you may know , many of the mosaic users are using the phone or iPad to play the music.
Currently it is not possible to change the tracks when the phone is locked , you must open it and go to the mosaic app.
The mosaic also does not appears on the dynamic island on the top of the screen.
I assume that the phone does not recognize it as a music player app like all the other streaming apps.
Any plans to add it?

Eyal
Your comment is addressed to dCS. The forum is basically a dialogue between dCS customers. If you want dCS itself to add or amend something I suggest that you use the dCS Products category then the feature requests thread.
I have to say that I don’t really understand your point.
Locking a phone is a safety feature to prevent unauthorised tampering. So you cannot select or alter apps when locked. This is not a dCS feature but Apple ( for iPhones).
I do not know what you mean by dynamic island. Maybe posting a screenshot will help. If you mean that it does not appear on the phone’s home screen then you can move it. It will also appear in the app Library screen. However my UK iPhone does not have a category for music players and it selects what to use, not dCS. This screen cannot be customised. In my case Mosaic shows as a utility.
Hi Pete
Thank you for your comment.
This is a screen shot when I play Spotify, as you can see , I can change track when the phone is locked . I can not do it when I play via the mosaic app.
Is clearer now?

Thanks Eyal,
However I cannot see from your screenshot that you can change tracks as the image shows what is playing, back,forward ( is that what you refer to?), Play/Pause, airplay access and volume. No direct track selection.
As the date shown is the Hebrew year I guess you may be in Israel. I am in the UK and my iPhone lock screen ( iOS 26.3.1) shows a somewhat different layout to yours. Even the wallpaper that you have is not available to me.
I think that certain default screen layouts may be partly due to the smartphone distributor/supplier for the territory in question. Whatever, I think that what you desire may be in a domain other than that of dCS.
Someone may know better however so if they wish to comment please do.
Hi Pete
Good detective work 
The ability to show on the lock screen is related to the app and how it is recognized by Apple.
It is not something that you can configure on the iOS.
I also use the Audio Station app for my NAS and it also shows on the lock screen like Spotify or Tidal without any settings from my side .
I will open a thread under DCS support, thank you.
BTW, the lock screen background is a generic Apple one .. I actually purchased my IPhone in Europe.

Hi DCS team
As you know many users are using their phone or iPad to control mosaic.
It will be nice if we could control the mosaic even if the phone is locked, similar to Spotify or other streaming apps .
I am adding this screen shot of my locked phone while playing Spotify.
Thank you

Thanks @eylo I saw your post on the other section too.
I’ll look into this on Monday if that’s ok?
In the meantime, have a great weekend of listening.
If this option were implemented, it would be very convenient. It would provide information about what file is being played and the ability to rewind or skip it. I strongly support its implementation in Mosaic.
Hi Eyal,
I have logged this for discussion with the Product team. I’ve also moved the thread to the Feature Requests category and merged it with the other thread you made to keep everything in one place.
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback!
Hi
Thank very much for your support. I hope that you will be able to add it in the near future as it will make it easier to control the mosaic.
I also want to thank this great forum for the support and useful info, this is showing the DCS strong legacy and future.
Regards
Eyal
