Playback Controls where?

Hi super new user here. On the playback screen where are the controls? I have no skip track buttons at all, no shuffle, no repeat. I can’t find where the setting is in the absolute sea of settings there are. I see controls in the notification shade, but why nothing on the main app playback screen? I’ve searched the forum but didn’t find anything. I feel like I’m missing something super obvious here. TIA

Depending on your theme preset, there may not be controls visible. You can:

A) use gestures - tap album art to play/pause, horizontal swipe to skip tracks

B) pick a different preset

Settings > Interface > Now Playing > Change Style

C) Add the controls to your current style

Settings > Interface > Now Playing > Portrait/Landscape > “Controls and Information” big header

scroll down to the bottom (just above “Bottom bar” header

Set “Control button bar style” to visible and select the buttons you want

Thank you so much, I knew with all the customization there had to be a way and I just couldn’t find it. Thanks!
