Recently when connecting my iPhone 12 via Bluetooth to my car it auto plays whatever I was last listening to even if Spotify is not running. I’ve been googling it and apparently it’s a new feature, who the **bleep** wants the music to start automatically whenever it connects to Bluetooth. There are no options in Spotify, or in the phones settings to turn this off.  A disable Autoplay toggle needs to be added. This needs to be implemented soon or I will not be continuing my subscription after being a premium subscriber for over five years, and moving to a different music subscription service.

Hi @Gototgetit21006,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community.

To start investigating this, we'd like to make sure if this happens only when you connect to your car's Bluetooth, or if it also happens when you connect to any other Bluetooth devices.

Also, if you haven't tried any troubleshooting steps, please run a clean reinstall of the app, as this one is more thorough than a regular one and will reset any settings attached to your phone. 

Keep us posted.
