My Question or Issue

I've upgraded to Android 11 and I realised that Spotify now behaves differently in Android 11.

1. Removing Spotify from Recent Apps did not end the music session

2. Removing Spotify from Recent Apps also removes the music control notification from Quick Settings region (while the music is still playing)

3. No music control in lock screen This is a setting in Pixel 4 that I overlooked, skipping lock screen after face unlock removes the traditional lock screen.

Are these behaviours intended or is Spotify supposed to behave in a different way? My current Spotify experience on Android 11 is totally different from Android 10.

Edit: Reflected the correct issues, number 3 is a mistake on my part

@Zerhinne thanks for the heads up! The latest version seems to have fixed the bug for me, as well.

Updates are not doing anything related to music break ups for me (pixel 3a).

Moreover, I though going back to an old Jack wire instead of Bluetooth would be a workaround but it's doing exactly the same...

This is becoming very annoying, and very long to get fixed.

Hey there folks,

Thanks for your updates and for your patience while we looked into this issue. We can now confirm that the issue reported here should now be fixed for everyone!

Make sure your app is updated to the latest version. If you're still having trouble, we suggest you start a new topic in the relevant help board here. We'll be happy to lend a hand and look into it further.

Note: If your playback keeps pausing/skipping when screen is off after the Android 11 update, we have a separate thread for that issue here - make sure to leave your info there and follow the instructions.

Thanks again!
