My Question or Issue

Up until recently (fee weeks ago), I would see the following behaviour when connecting my phone to a Bluetooth device:

- when connecting to my car, Spotify would start and resume play where I last left off, usually a playlist

- when connecting to my Bluetooth headphones, I would press the play button on my headphones and Spotify would start and then resume playback (as above)

This is now no longer the case. I have to start Spotify on my phone and then I can start playback. I did not change any settings and can not find any settings that would influence this behaviour.

Anybody know what is happening ? Thanks.

I’ve been having this exact problem on my iPhone 8 for the past six months. When starting the car, Spotify connects but starts playing Spotify Radio instead of resuming from the playlist that I was listening to when I last used Spotify (even if it was less than an hour since I used the app). When is Spotify going to fix this issue? I always keep the app updated.
