Hi @Kaitlyn2493
Thank you for posting on the Community!
We've moved your post to this help board, as this is more related to your phone's settings than an issue with the app itself.
This is a normal behavior, since other apps like Waze or Maps wouldn't be able to give you instructions if Spotify muted all notifications.
In this case, the setting that would prevent Spotify from doing this, would be Do Not Disturb or DND. Could you turn it on and see how it works?
Keep us posted.
