Autoplay on app focus (iOS, with MusicCast)

Hey folks, I have an annoying issue on my iOS app, especially with its Autoplay feature, however not how options menu understands it.

Sometimes when I bring app to the focus it starts playing by itself, which is especially annoying at work when I haven’t connected BT headset before opening Spotify.

At home I usually listen to music via MusicCast on Yamaha device, when doing so and when bringing Spotify back to focus (to change song on Yamaha or browse through library) it takes over sound and brings it back to phone. So, I then have to switch output manually back to MusicCast device each time I refocus Spotify on my phone.

Anyone has an idea on how to fix this? It seems like a recent change introduced in past 3-6 months.

Device
