My Question or Issue

Question in the subject. Spotify (and only spotify) will start playing when connected to and disconnected from any bluetooth device. Autoplay options in settings are already turned off, including on this device and on other devices. App updated, unistalled, and reinstalled, no success.

Hi @Qa743!

This behavior seems to be related to the particular device you're connecting your phone to. For example, when I'm at home and I connect my phone to my integrated amp (or earbuds) via Bluetooth, Spotify doesn't start playing automatically when I open the app. However, if I'm connected to my car's head unit, it will continue the playback as soon as I open the app.

This feature cannot be turned off at the moment, but there's a live idea about being able to do so, so feel free to check it out and show your support by giving it a thumbs up + sharing your feedback.
 

As for the Autoplay feature, it pretty much generates a new queue when the current one ends so that the music keeps on playing. You can find more info here.

When you connect to any Bluetooth devices, the app starts playing the last song selected on previous session and there is no way to let the user decide if start to play music automatically or not.

Please add this functionality

My Question or Issue

I am having issues getting Spotify to stop autoplaying in my car when connects to bluetooth. I have gone into settings and turned off everything related to autoplay. There is no setting in my spotify app for autoplay. Just a setting to turn off autoplay next song. This is getting really annoying having my Spotify app auto play everytime it connects to bluetooth in my car. Help fix this please!

My Question or Issue

Whenever I'm listening while driving home it will switch from the playlist to a "reccomended for you" list that seems to be related to the playlist I was listening to, but Playa a ton of songs not on the list. The playlist hasn't finished playing all the songs, and it's not the smart shuffle and it SHOULDN'T be "autoplay similar content" because again, it hasn't finished playing all my songs. It just switches. Can this be fixed?

My Question or Issue

Whenever my phone is connected to the bluetooth in my car, Spotify starts playing as soon as I open the app. This doesn't happen when I'm listening on wired headphones, bluetooth headphones, or through the phones speaker. I have car mode off and Android Auto doesn't even work with this car. Is this intended? It only started after I updated the app a couple weeks ago.

My Question or Issue

When I get in my car (and connect to it via bluetooth) with a playlist qued up spotify will automatically start playing something different. This has been an issue for months. I used to just get in my car and what was left playing on my spotify would start playing which is what I want. Not something random. 

I've been waiting and hoping for some kind of update that might sort it but nothing. Is there some kind of fix for this? Really is annoying.
