Description

Hello SoundCloud Community,

I've developed a website that streams mixes from SoundCloud using the embedded SoundCloud widget.

However, I have an issue specifically with iPhones : when users play a mix on my site and lock their phones, the lock screen displays the media controls, but instead of showing the name of my site or the track, it displays the text "SoundCloud Widget."
On Android devices, the lock screen shows the correct site name, which is the desired behavior.

Is there a way to customize or modify the text that appears on the iPhone lock screen when using the embedded SoundCloud widget? If not, are there any plans to offer more control over these metadata in the future?

I appreciate any insights or suggestions you may have! Thanks in advance!
