Android Release Notes

What's new in version 1.2.0

• New: Want to use Spotify Connect on any speakers? Plug a phone or tablet into both a charger and your speakers. Log in to the same Spotify account on another device, and use it as a remote.
• Fictitious: This was the first app on the moon.

Sorry if I am being slow today, but what is the difference between this connect functionality and what was in the previous version?

[user-removed]

I don't understand this feature. Does it make Spotify Connect work on every connect speaker at same time?

[michel123]

It seems like nothing is changed here, since this was already possible for some time now? Maybe it's just the announcement that this is possible? 

I think it's a great feature though, it offers great possibilities as I wrote on my blog.

Thank's Spotify!

This feature reverts a previous change, that I had criticized in Version 0.7.8.566 that would not allow you to remote control an android device as long as the display lock was on. (See: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Android/Release-Notes-Spotify-for-Android-0-7-8-566/m-p/720719...

Now this is possible, as long as the phone is connected to an amp and a power cord.

Now the next step to make Connect useful would be to make Volume control possible between mobile devices!

(See: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Android/Control-volume-on-Connect-with-Android/td-p/708435

and also for iOS: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-iOS-iPhone-iPad-iPod-Touch/No-volume-control-on-Spotify-connec...

Yes, and to add Connect to the desktop versions...
