on that note, the lockscreen Spotify widget is still not functional ...when wanting to stop listening to music we can't ... need to unlock phone.

Said Spotify:

"You can still easily access the same playback features as well as information about what is playing through the Spotify playback notification and device lockscreen".

@Flutterby Spotify has had a lot of negative comments regarding the decision to remove the widget on the last update, they are considering bringing it back if they get enough people voting to do so, leave a comment on the app's review section to get your vote in

@Flutterby, I think this will make you happy

 

It's coming back

Spotify seemed very sure of its decision to kill the Android app's widget a few weeks back, but now it's reversing course. After hearing from many, many customers, Spotify has announced that it will bring the widget back soon. The developers have made improvements to performance and visuals for the widget, and Spotify will restore the widget in a future app update. The "Live Idea" for bringing back the widget has changed from "Not right now" to "Watch this space" as a result. We don't know when the widget will come back, but it's happening. You did it, internet.
