Auto android scroll symbols missing inside Spotify

Auto android scroll symbols missing inside Spotify

20250218_073636.jpg20250218_074847.jpg20250218_074830.jpgThe last couple of weeks i got this weird problem, when inside my library my scroll buttons up and down are almost not visible. 

Normaly the 2 up and down scroll symbols arw bright white, now they look almost greyed out.

And if i press them they react real slow. After a couple of seconds it reacts to my touch on the car stereo. 

 

I tried 3 phones, and they all act the same and on last Spotify version. I have Pioneer 2din dab radio, it never failed me for 2 years now. But something changed with the last update from Spotify. 

 

When i disconnnect the phone Galaxy s23 ultra and hook it back up trough usb/android auto. The 2 symbols are bright white again, i select a song and press back to my library BOOM! The buttons are broke again. So the scroll bar and buttons are completly broken for me somehow. I did a factory reset on my car stereo no help, same problem. 

 

Anyone else with this issue?? You can see it in the pictures.
On the left side the 2 arrow buttons are bright white on first picture.
After that they are greyed out and unresponsive. At times they are completly gone for me.

Hello @Silverhaze-NL,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community and for the provided details and screenshots.

 

On one of the screenshots it appears that Spotify is offline. Could you let us know if the control buttons are greyed out if you've disabled Offline mode? What about the behavior with a different internet connection?

 

Since this is happening with 3 phones connected to your Android Auto and you've gone over a factory reset on your car stereo, could you also reinstall Spotify in your car in case this makes any difference?

 

If you've tested with 3 devices and you were logged in to your Spotify account when the issue occurs, you could ask a relative or a friend to test from their account and device and let us know what happens?

 

Appreciate the cooperation and keep us posted.

Hi! Thanks for the fast response. 
I just asked a college from work to test it out with her Xiaomi Redmi Note 13.
Same issue there, see screenshots. 
I did the factory reset yesterday on my car stereo, so all apps were deleted then. 
A fresh start. 
With all other apps the 2 scroll buttons are bright white and active. 
Tried Tidal and Qobuz just for the fun of it to see if they act the same way. 
Just to see if the problem was not the car stereo, and as far as i can see it is not. 
Spotify always worked like a charm. It is so weird, can't pinpoint it what the problem coulde be.
Maby a UI change. As you can see in the pictures, the 2 symbols are almost not noticable.
The rest of the UI has no problem at all and works perfectly.
