My Question or Issue

 This is a recent development... just in the past few weeks or so and had never happened before under the same circumstances. Nothing new or different has occured.

 THE ISSUE: I get into my car, load my ipone bluetooth, open spotify app, and immediately, it begins playing music.  Again, this is a new thing and my app has never done this until recently.  It is highly annoying and I would like to be able to turn that off so it stops doing that.  I have already done the "Turn off autoplay" feature and I've already, "Turned it off and on again." so I really don't want more of the same advice.  I need an actual solution here. >_<

IT does NOT do this on my computer by the way... just my iphone in my car on my bluetooth, and again, only recently.

Thank you
