What is the MiniPlayer?

A compact player that appears at the bottom of the screen when audio is playing, so you can navigate the app while listening.

What it shows: the reciter's photo, the surah name (with the Arabic name when there's room), the reciter's name, a play/pause button and an ✕ button. On iPhone, a thin progress bar also runs along its top edge.

What you can do with it:

1. Pause or resume with the play/pause button.
2. Tap ✕ to stop the audio and close the player ("Stop and close player").
3. Tap the MiniPlayer, or drag it up, to open the full player, called "Now Reciting". There you can skip to the previous or next ayah or surah, change the speed, set Repeat or a Sleep timer, switch reciter, or use "Open in Qur'an" to jump to the surah you're hearing.
4. When the speed isn't 1×, tap the speed badge on the MiniPlayer to change it.

Where you'll see it: above the tab bar on every main screen. On iPhones running iOS 26, it sits in the tab bar area and can shrink as you scroll; the speed badge and ✕ are then hidden until it expands again. In the Mushaf layout the MiniPlayer is replaced by a small player at the bottom of the page, with its own speed and stop controls, so it doesn't cover the text.

Good to know: audio keeps playing in the background and can be controlled from the Lock Screen. The MiniPlayer has no next button. Use the full player to skip.
