My Question or Issue

When using Android Auto, I've been having issues with the navigation arrows. They are either completely gone, barely visible, or will randomly appear after poking around at different screens within Spotify. After they become visible, they seem to stay on until the head unit has been rebooted, then they're missing again.

I was having other weird issues with Spotify and Android Auto but those issues have been resolved by completely uninstalling Spotify from my phone, then reinstalling Spotify. The Navigation Arrow issue has persisted and I've seen a few other posts about this as well.

Hi there @teknix420,

Thanks for reaching out and flagging this!

This was reported a while ago in this thread and was forwarded to our tech team. A fix was implemented, but since you mentioned this started happening again, we've now let them know so they can have a closer look and investigate this further. 

The Community is always here in case anything else pops up.

Joan,

I've updated Spotify and it looks like the UI on Android Auto has been completely overhauled. The navigation arrows were there and functional for a few days, but they have disappeared again. I tried uninstalling Spotify from my device, clearing out the data, and then reinstalling it, but that didn't help at all.
