My Question or Issue

Just got a CarPlay screen for my car and the spotify app within carplay seems to have way better options for recommending music. There were 10 ish prompts for music suggestions. Can't find options anywhere on the spotify app for desktop or mobile. Can we add more personalized music discovery?

Hello! Welcome to the Spotify Community.

From what I've tested, this interface is exclusive to CarPlay and optimized for use while driving in traffic. But you can still explore alternatives in the app, such as Daily Mix, Discover Weekly, or Enhance mode in playlists.

It would be great to see these more advanced suggestions also outside the car! You can suggest this idea in the idea board.

Keep me updated.

Cheers,
