How do I turn off the now brief thing on my lock screen?

I've already tried turning everything off in the now brief settings, and it still doesn't go away. I've already tapped dismiss many times and it still wont turn off. How can I do this, it is annoying to swipe to change my music where the now brief is at.

That's weird because I checked it and it didn't show, but I restarted my phone and it showed the toggle. Thanks!

My Samsung watch 7 cannot answer calls when my S25 phone is locked on . This worked on previous devices. This is a regression and needs a setting to allow it. Really dumb engineering. Now when I leave my phone on my desk charging while working I can no longer answer my phone using my watch

Please make a new post as this has nothing to do with the original post.
