Repeat Enabled Automatically When Connected to Car

[plainblack]

Device

iPhone 7, always latest version of iOS and Spotify

Operating System

iOS 10

This is an issue that was discussed for months, and finally solved back in April. But it seems with the latest update, it's back, and it's driving me nuts even more this time around. Here's the old thread, which is now closed.

When my phone connects to my car, via Bluetooth or AUX, repeat is enabled automatically, the second the connection is made. This happens every single time, without fail. I don't ever want repeat enabled, so this is a major nuisance for me. Once it's enabled on my phone, it caries through to other devices.

I've gone through several rounds of troubleshooting over the months via this community, direct support, and Twitter support. It is not an issue with my device or my vehicle, it is a software issue. It was resolved for a while, and now it's back.

I’m having the exact same problem and it’s infuriating.

bump bump bumpppp

this issue has been affecting me for quite some time now, and its SO EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I get caught in loops all the time, when I play a playlist in the car. 

please help

Have the same problem in my car. All playlists automatically switch to loop if my iPhone 7 (latest ios) is connected to the car (Golf 7, 1gen Composition Media).

It is really annoying 😑

Spotify! Do anything!

Edit: What cars do you have?

[Anon_X]

Ok...nothing?

It comes with all cars I have connected. Volkswagen, Ford, Audi.

Well, then I think spotify need my money anymore.

Apple Music is also nice 🤷‍♂️

I think Spotify might consider this a feature; it is not! I have Autoplay disabled, so it should just stop when an album is done.

Please fix.
