While we work backstage on improving the experience, one alternative would be to listen hands-free via Google Assistant. Think of retiring car-view as something that needs to happen in an effort to make way for new innovations coming down the track. On the contrary, we’re actively exploring a variety of new ways to deliver the best in-car listening experience. This however doesn’t mean we don’t want to improve on how our users listen to Spotify while driving. We can confirm that we’re retiring the car view feature. The company is working on something better. A moderator of the Spotify support forum confirmed that the Car View mode was removed. What appeared to be a bug turned out to be intentional. There is a reason for it (and a workaround) Instead, now the Spotify app only reportedly displays the following message: ‘Always pay full attention to the road and abide with all traffic regulations’. At some point for some reason my phone started recognizing my car as a car, and that lasted maybe a month or 2 before car mode disappeared. I got my current car just before Easter this year, and for a while my phone didn’t recognize the Bluetooth as a car so it didn’t enter car mode but I was able to make Spotify go into car mode permanently. Does any one know what’s going on here?įor context, I live in New Zealand, my phone is a Samsung A20.
When I checked, the car mode setting had completely disappeared. I noticed recently my phone stopped switching to cast mode when I am in my car. Spotify Car View mode missing, it no longer worksĪccording to multiple reports, Spotify Car View mode is missing, not activating when connecting the phone with Android Auto ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). However, many users complain that Car View has disappeared from the app. Spotify Car View can be activated on Android Auto compatible cars when the phone is connected. Spotify, the music and podcast streaming service, offers a special mode designed to continue using it safely while the user is driving.
