iOS 16 Spotify Media Player Location on lock

Hello,

I recently installed the most recent iOS updates and have noticed a change that's put a kink in my usage of my iPhone 13 Pro Max. While using Spotify with my screen locked on previous builds, the media player would be located in the middle of the screen and I could easily use my thumb to select "Next" or "Previous" while holding the phone in one hand.

As of the newest updates, the media player is now located at the very bottom of the screen, which makes it incredibly difficult to maneuver with one hand. As far as I'm aware, there's currently no way to customize where the Spotify media player is. With such a large phone, it'd be great to be able to customize where the media player is located (or just generally revert it back so it's in the middle of the screen.)

Appreciate any insight if there is a way for me to move where the media player sits on lock; otherwise, please consider my recommendation, Apple!

Thank you!
