Waze popup keeps showing when connected

Hey all,

 

From some users we've been receiving a message that the pop-up is still showing, even after a full reinstall using these instructions.

 

If you’re still experiencing this issue, make sure to click + VOTE and leave a comment below with the following:

 

  • Your device + OS version
  • Your exact Spotify version
  • Do you have Waze installed on your device?
  • Is Waze navigation activated in Spotify?

Thanks! We’ll keep you posted and let you know as soon as we have any updates on this.

Hey there folks,

 

Thanks for all your reports and patience so far!

 

This should be now fixed in the latest version of the Android app

 

If that doesn't do the trick for you, please make sure that Navigation is toggled off from the app's settings. 

 

If you're still having troubles, don't hesitate to let us know in the Help Boards. We'll be happy to lend a hand.

 

Have a lovely day 🙂

Hi Guido, this is all very interesting,  but given that this ossue has been around for at least 2 months now, could we start getting something back by way of updates?

I've completely wiped Spotify off of my phone twice, and still am getting this pop up.  It just started happening about 5 days ago.

I may have fixed this for myself. Try renaming your phone Bluetooth device
name. Force stop Spotify. Then connect to your car Bluetooth under the new
name. Open Spotify, see it wave navigation does not appear.
Fixed for me it seems.
