Spotify Connection Notification when Waze Navigation is Turned Off

Plan

Premium

Country

United States

Device

Samsung Galaxy S9

Operating System

Android Version 9

Version of Spotify App

8.5.4.770

My Question or Issue

Just yesterday I started noticing that everytime my phone connects to my car via bluetooth and I use Spotify, Spotify has the normal notification banner for playback control, but there is another banner that reads "Spotify Connection: Connected to Waze". It does not let me swipe it away even when I am out of the car, bluetooth is off, and my music is no longer playing. In my Spotify settings I have Waze Navigation switched OFF and I do not even have the Waze app on my phone. Is there any way to make this stop without turning off notifications for Spotify altogether? I assume even if I turn off notifications, "Spotify Connection: Connected to Waze" would still be running in the background which I do not want. Please advise.

Thank you!

Go to app settings in your phone's settings and notifications and turn off external applications.

That doesn't solve the issue, just masks it. Spotify needs to fix this.

UPDATE: This did not fix it. The notification is back. Hopefully they fix this soon!

I have this problem too. It got fixed by me updating the app just now.

Exactly the same here, Galaxy S10+. Particularly frustrating as the app itself (Spotify) is so slow and un-optimised. The guys at Spotify need to get their house in order, to put it nicely.

OnePlus 6 here, same thing going on for about a week now.

What surprises me is that the notification cant be swiped away, it doesn't go away when I close the app either. I have to force stop it from the app details for it to disappear.

I am experiencing the same issue. Samsung Note8 (SM-N950U), Android v9/One UI version 1.0 Spotify Version 8.5.5.853.

Edit:

Verified that Waze navigation is turned off in Settings/Social.

Also removed app connection on Spotify site.
