Recently issues occurred with Waze, it now appears that there is a problem with the Spotify app. Android Auto’s Coolwalk
interface continues to have bugs. Users can run up to three apps at once with the new Android Auto design, with navigation apps taking up most space on the phone and audio apps appearing on the two smaller tabs.
Spotify’s playback controls won’t display on Android Auto with Coolwalk
If talking about smartphones, some users have reported that the Spotify app sometimes fails to display playback controls unless manually launched. This appears to be the only unprepared solution at this point. This issue appears to have occurred following the installation of the April 17 update, but Coolwalk is not specifically mentioned as the cause.
While YouTube Music functions normally, the issue may be with the Spotify app, which requires additional optimization to handle Coolwalk properly. At the end of 2022, Spotify Premium subscribers ran into a similar issue when they were unable to launch the app on Android Auto unless it was also running on their phones.
At last, the only thing left to do at this point is to wait for fo an update to either the Spotify app or Android Auto.
