The 'Now Playing' bar on my Samsung S25 Ultra consistently shows the last song that finished playing

Found issue both on S20 Note Ultra and S25 Ultra. Whenever there is a track change, the music control in the notification drawer will show the last played song. Its until I skip or go back that it corrects itself, but repeats after song changes. this issue has been ongoing for years it seems like and looks to be unpatched. I have tried This step provided on Reddit but came with no results,

"Step 0: Visit https://dontkillmyapp.com and make sure you give Plexamp unrestricted access. "

It only appears to happen on Samsung devices, as other brands work just fine. Please don’t close this until its resolved. Thanks.

Samsung is notoriously aggressive for restricting an app’s ability to do things in the background, I’m not sure what we can do about it.

If, as the co-founder said, it’s an issue with the Samsung phone’s background restrictions, you can long press the app, go into Plexamp settings, and look around there
