Operating System

iOS 13 beta 4

My Question or Issue

After the beta 4 update, CarPlay refuses to show Spotify Now Playing screens. You can get into the app, but you can't see song level navigation or cover art. Rebooted phone and car stereo several times. Pandora still works correctly.

Hello,

Since the beta is not a stabilized/publically released piece of software, there can sometimes be loss of functionality or incompatibilities with third party apps until the software becomes standard. If you prefer no issues with third party apps, I would suggest downgrading to iOS 12.3.1.

Hope this helps!

I don't use Spotify for CarPlay but in general the app is working much better in iOS 13 Beta 5

Agreed. All better now!
