Spotify doesn't automatically switch to car mode

Spotify doesn't automatically switch to car mode

I am using Spotify on my car's android head unit. I've set it up to always go into car mode (settings -> switch to car mode -> always). However, after I reopen the app, it's  back into the normal mode and it doesn't even prompt me to switch to car mode.

Hey everyone,

 

Apologies for the confusion, you’re currently seeing a recent change we’ve made.


We’re always testing possible improvements, so you or someone else may see something new or get a limited feature temporarily on the app.
 

You're welcome to share your feedback so we can pass it along to the proper team.

 

Cheers,

I am also having this problem now. I have reinstalled, using the 'clean install' instructions, multiple times. 

I use car mode all the time, even not in the car, because it's less distracting and I can leave the screen up and not have to unlock the phone every 10 minutes.

Car mode is more than half the reason I use this app and pay for a subscription. 

Samsung Galaxy Note20Ultra, Android 13, Spotify 8.9.36.494

 

I will be removing this program and subscription if this feature is not fixed. There are free options that accomplish the same goal without key features such as this. 

Me too

Bring back Car Mode!!!!
