My Question or Issue
The search function/button/voice search is gone now from spotify in carplay. It still works from the app on my phone and I can search on my phone to find a song for carplay to play but I should not have to pick up my device while driving to search for a song when then the voice search functionality existed previously. Is this fully gone or was it moved to a new spot I cant find?

Exactly the same problem has happened to me. When my wife’s phone attaches to the car it works fine but with a new iOS system it is missing- I’ve spent hours trying to fix this and it is dangerous to remove the search function from the CarPlay, where Siri was easy to use

What is the timeline on a resolution?

Korkunç bir güncelleme. Kafayı yemiş olmalısınız. Yarım saat search ikonunu aradım. Araba kullanırken ben istediğim şarkıyı açmak için elime telefonumu alacağım gerçekten. Tam bir saçmalık.

Now you have had 10 days to look into this removal of a critical feature without getting back with a reply - what have you found?

Hopefully the removal was just a mistake and will be rectified ASAP.

Thankss
