Why can't I navigate Spotify through CarPlay?

[WhteUmbrella]

I recently discovered that using Carplay in my 2016 Mazda 3's dial knob, I am unable to navigate Spotify. The touch screen is still functional, but as a safety measure, my car turns it off while I'm driving. I've always used my dial knob to navigate Spotify and other CarPlay apps, and both have always worked but Spotify isn't working for some reason. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi there,

Thanks for the post.

Can you let us know roughly when this started happening - after an OS or app update? Also, it would be helpful if you let us know your device model, OS version and Spotify version and how you connect to your car.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Alex. I resolved the issue. I restarted my iPhone and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for replying back. I appreciate it.
